Curriculum Code No. 2193
This program is designed to prepare students to seek employment as technicians in the fields of instrumentation, electronics, communications, nanotechnology, and mechanical systems in the various engineering technology fields. It allows students to build a sequence of laboratory based courses to satisfy specific skills needed for immediate employment.
Upon successful completion of the program students will be awarded the Associate of Applied Science degree.
Graduates of this program are able to
- apply fundamental principles of mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering, and laboratory measurements to solve accessible science and engineering technology problems;
- employ the techniques and skills necessary for the applied engineering technology practice;
- design, evaluate, and test an engineering system, component, or process; and
- identify, formulate, and solve applied engineering technology problems.
Prospective students with inadequate academic preparation should be aware that they may need additional time to acquire the necessary academic background. Prerequisites and corequisites for the required courses must be strictly followed.

*The nanotechnology program will include 18 directed electives, which will be at Penn State for the capstone semester.
**68 credits total for the nanotechnology AAS concentration which includes the 18 credit capstone semester at Penn State. Fifty three credits will be taken at BCCC.
Recommended Semester Sequence
The recommended course sequence is designed for full-time students who average 16 credit hours per semester. Students may need more time to complete major requirements based on placement testing. Such additional time will require adjustments to the recommended sequence.
*The semester sequence for the nanotechnology majors will be different due to the capstone semester at Penn State.
