Associate of Applied Science

Occupational Major

Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics Department
Founders 110 • Phone (215) 968-8305
Curriculum Code No. 2193

This program is designed to prepare students to seek employment as technicians in the various engineering technology fields. Through a sequence of laboratory-based and business courses, students develop technical, interpersonal, and communication skills needed for immediate employment in the field.

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, physics, engineering, and laboratory measurements to solve engineering technology problems;
  • apply the engineering design process to an engineering component or system; and
  • employ the skills necessary for the engineering technology practice in the solution of an engineering problem.

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.
