What is Engineering Technology?
Engineering technology education focuses primarily on the applied aspects of science and engineering aimed at preparing graduates for practice in that portion of the technological spectrum closest to product improvement, manufacturing, robotics, unmanned systems, and engineering operational functions.
The NMC Engineering Technology degree offers students a broad-based curriculum across all areas of technical education, preparing the graduates for emerging job markets and highly technical fields. The program is designed to allow students to focus on areas of interest or specialize in one of seven technical specializations: Computers, Electronics, Photonics, Marine, Robotics & Automation, Unmanned Aerial Systems, and Unmanned Ground Vehicles.
