Engineering Technology - The Community College of Baltimore County

Engineering Technology from The Community College of Baltimore County is a Campus Associate Engineering General degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The Engineering Technology program is designed to prepare the student for an entry-level position in the engineering field, generally working at the direction of an engineer. Engineering technicians use the principles and theories of science, engineering, and mathematics to solve technical problems not requiring calculus in research and development, manufacturing, sales, construction, inspection, maintenance, and electronics. Their work involves the more practical side of science and engineering and often requires the use of computer software including 3D modeling. A.A.S. degrees are offered in civil, mechanical,and electrical/electronic engineering technology. Civil engineering involves the design construction and analysis of roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, water supply systems, and waste water treatment facilities. Mechanical engineering involves the design, maintenance and analysis of equipment, engines, tools, and various machines from robotics used in manufacturing to climate control equipment. Electrical/electronic engineering involves the design, maintenance and analysis of electronic instrumentation and controls, circuits, electronic communications, process controls, robotics and electrical equipment. Students who successfully complete the requirements for an A.A.S. Degree in Engineering Technology will be able to: 1. manage an engineering project from the initial concept stage to completion; 2. apply engineering principles and computer skills to assist an engineer with the design and drawing of mechanical equipment, construction projects, and electronic circuits; 3. conduct tests to determine the strength of a material or to determine the cause of a mechanical failure; 4. conduct surveys to determine elevations and boundaries using surveyors equipment or to evaluate a site for potential hazards; and 5. apply current knowledge of engineering and technology to design, build/modify, troubleshoot, install, operate and maintain equipment using schematic and/or mechanical drawings.
