Engineering Technology
Engineering technology programmes prepare technicians and technologists who build, install, test and maintain what engineers design — electronics, mechanical systems, industrial automation, quality, drafting and civil works. It is the largest applied-technical family in the Florida College System.
The degrees this program covers
Engineering Technology is mostly an ASSOCIATE-level family in Florida, with a smaller number of BACHELOR degrees and a large number of short certificates that stack toward them. ⚠⚠ It is NOT the same as an ENGINEERING degree, and the difference is worth two years: under s. 471.013(1)(a), Florida Statutes, a graduate of an approved engineering curriculum needs four years of experience before the PE examination, while a graduate of an approved engineering technology curriculum needs six. If a PE licence is your goal, read the Mechanical Engineer career path first.
