A.A.S. in Engineering Technology
This program is only available at Ohio University Lancaster.
The associate in Applied Science in Engineering Technology is a two-year program that was developed in response to the great demand expressed by manufacturers for skilled technicians and engineering technologists. The Engineering Technology program is designed to offer students a technical foundation needed to help solve complex problems by exposing them to real-world applications using hands-on lab courses. Students are taught a variety of manufacturing processes and their related materials as well as skilled in quality analysis tools (Lean), occupational safety and electronics. A large focus within the program is on the importance of automated equipment. Concentration is on programming and troubleshooting computer numerical control (CNC) equipment and programmable logic controllers (PLC’s) for robotics.
Curriculum
Our engineering technology curriculum is a combination of general education courses that meet university requirements, business courses amounting to a minor in business, a technical core, and electives.
The Engineering Technology (ENGT) major program requires a minimum of 61 hours in the following areas:
- Lean
- CAD and solid modeling
- production and operations
- materials and manufacturing processes
- programming, electronics
- robotics and automation
- control systems
Most courses in the technical core require extensive hands-on laboratory time in addition to the classroom lecture/theory time.
Admissions
