Associate in Science Degree

(60-61 Credit Hours)

Program Goal

The purpose of this program is to prepare students for employment in engineering technology and related occupations. The program also provides updated training for incumbent workers employed as production technicians in manufacturing, electronics, industrial design, biomedical and related industries. The degree has a specialization in alternative energy and four college credit certificates: engineering support specialist, alternative energy, electronics, and digital design and modeling. It is recommended that students complete the engineering support core prior to completing elective requirements. The 18-hour engineering technical support core has been aligned with the Manufacturing Skills Standard Council’s (MSSC) industry certification.

Program Entrance Requirements

To be admitted to the Engineering Technology Degree Program, a student must have:

Achieved a level of mathematics proficiency that qualifies the student for entry into MAC 1105 or higher, as demonstrated by the standard placement criteria currently in use at SCF; and
Achieved a level of English and reading proficiency that qualifies the student for entry into ENC 1101 or higher, as demonstrated by the standard placement criteria currently in use at SCF.

⁺ Effective Fall 2013, no new students are being accepted into an A.A.S. degree program. Students currently enrolled will have two years (Summer 2015) to complete the A.A.S. specific requirements of the program. The only difference of the A.A.S. from the A.S. curriculum for this particular program is that of one math course (

MTB 1321 - Technical Mathematics

Articulated credit from a technical institute/secondary school may be applicable. Contact the SCF associate vice president of corporate and community development for more information.

Related certificates also are offered. See certificate programs listing.

Note: This degree articulates to SCF’s Bachelor of Applied Science in Energy Technology Management degree. An A.S. degree in this field will transfer to Daytona State College toward the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology.
