The Industrial Technology Associate of Science Degree (60 unit total,
30-36 units in the major) is designed to prepare students to enter the
industrial setting in the areas of renewable energy (wind/solar),
engineering technology, or electronics. Within the Industrial
Technology program, students can earn progressive levels of certificates
toward employment and/or the degree. Students must complete the 18 unit
Industrial Technology certificate, one 12-18 unit emphasis areas plus
completion of all units required for the AS Degree. Emphasis area should be
selected based on employment goal Electronics Technology, Engineering
Technology, Solar Technology or Wind Technology. Employment in aerospace, mining,
manufacturing, and renewable energy is projected to increase dramatically
over the next several years utilizing cutting edge technologies.
