A.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology
Study mode: Full Time |
This program focuses on the methods, materials, machinery, and manpower needed to solve real-world problems. The program is focused on providing graduates with skills to develop and implement technological solutions in the areas of product design and development, manufacturing, manufacturing processes, quality control, materials, fluid power, heat power, mechanics, and cost analysis. Mechanical engineering technicians work with scientists and engineers as valuable members of professional teams. Engineering technicians have practical skills and often begin their careers with assignments in simple design, product testing, computer-aided drafting, or customer service. Graduates accept jobs with titles such as laboratory technicians, engineering aides, plant maintenance personnel, designers/CAD specialists, production assistants, and technical salespeople. With additional experience, promotion is possible into positions such as industrial supervisors, machine and tool designers, technical buyers, production expediters, and cost estimators. Students who complete the work for an A.S. degree in mechanical engineering technology can continue in the MET program for approximately two years and earn a B.S. degree.
Associate Degree in Agricultural Economics
Study mode: Full Time |
This program offers training that will be helpful for students contemplating employment as managers, extension workers, government employees, and employees in finance, in marketing, and in managerial positions in agricultural businesses. It also prepares qualified students to take graduate work as further preparation for college or government work, or for commercial economic research work. This Department of Agricultural Economics option has enough flexibility to permit a student to prepare for an international career in agricultural economics.
Associate Degree in Agricultural Systems Management
Study mode: Full Time |
This program prepares individuals to organize and manage technology based businesses, with emphasis on planning and directing an industry or business project with responsibility for results. ASM students develop skills in communications, business management, computers, and the agriculture sciences, in addition to technical courses based in the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department. National and international job opportunities include: manufacturing and processing operations; technical services and diagnostics; building and equipment systems; materials handling and process flow; technical product application and sales; product evaluation and education; and production agriculture.
Study mode: Full Time |
Associate Degree in Horticulture
Study mode: Full Time |
This program program allowing the student to select coursework in the areas best suited to their career interests. The coursework included in the associate program is generally applicable to the four-year baccalaureate program, should the student decide to continue their studies beyond two years.
Associate in Applied Science in Professional Flight Technology Information
Study mode: Full Time |
This program is awarded once the student completes the first two years of the flight plan of study. Additionally, students earn private and commercial pilot certificates and an instrument rating.
Associate in Applied Science in Aeronautical Engineering Technology
Study mode: Full Time |
This program produces graduates who have hands-on technical and engineering skills with aerospace vehicle systems, the demonstrated ability to think critically and manage projects, and who have a broad academic education; all of which shall prepare them to become industry leaders in the design, manufacturing, maintenance, operations, and support of aerospace vehicles.
Associate of Applied Science in Foodservice and Lodging Supervision
Study mode: Full Time |
This program prepares students to assume the responsibilities of a mid-level manager or supervisor in a variety of food service and lodging operations.
Associate of Science in Aviation Management Information
Study mode: Full Time |
In this program students are qualified to assist in the operation of airlines, airports, and airport service industries.
Associate of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology
Study mode: Full Time |
This program prepares students for positions as professionals in a variety of industries such as microcomputers and embedded controller systems, computer systems, audio-visual and entertainment media, electronics communications, technical automation, electrical power and energy management, and manufacturing systems. The plan of study provides coursework in electrical engineering technology as well as in related areas that provide background information in both technical and non-technical subjects. It provides a strong technical education in concentrations such as analog electronics, digital systems, microcomputer systems, RF communications, industrial automation, or electrical power. With a solid underpinning in the first two years, a student may then specialize in a concentration area or be a generalist selecting from several electives in the upper division.
Associate of Science in Manufacturing Engineering Technology
Study mode: Full Time |
This program focuses on the dynamic fields of automated manufacturing, systems integration, materials handling, and manufacturing operations. The program blends the study of mechanical engineering technology, electrical and computer engineering technology, computer graphics technology, and information systems with program-specific courses in automated manufacturing, operations planning, and systems integration. Graduates are uniquely qualified to meet the automation challenges experienced by today?s most demanding industries. The MFET program provides graduates with the solid technical foundation necessary to ensure their success in a wide variety of employment opportunities. Program graduates are able to fill a wide variety of positions, ranging from the application of computer automated manufacturing equipment and software to the programming and development of a fully integrated manufacturing system. Graduates excel in positions related to manufacturing engineering, process/control systems design, automated equipment engineering, layout and material handling, automated systems engineering and development, production engineering, manufacturing systems implementation, manufacturing systems integration, and technical sales.
Associate of Science in Organizational and Leadership Supervision
Study mode: Full Time |
This program primarily serves as an entry-level avenue for individuals who are currently employed and who wish to prepare themselves for future leadership/supervisory programs; or as a dual-degree program option for non-OLS majors who seek to augment their primary program area by preparing themselves for leadership positions in their respective disciplines.
Study mode: Full Time |
This program investigates the chemical and molecular foundations of life processes. A student may study the transfer of genetic information into biological structures, the conversion of nutrients into cell constituents and their utilization as sources of energy, the storage of memory, and the chemical nature of neural processes. Laboratory techniques include electrophoresis, chromatography, Western blotting, protein sequence analysis, and peptide mapping. Understanding the development and application of enzymatic assays is fundamental to this field of study. This rigorous curriculum is excellent preparation for a number of careers in both academic and industrial research, including cancer and AIDS research, medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, structural biology, genetics, and medicinal chemistry and drug development.
B.S. in Cell, Molecular and Developmental Biology
Study mode: Full Time |
This program curriculum will take courses providing a solid foundation in the molecular biology of cells and gain a full appreciation of how molecular complexes interact to make a cell function. This fundamental knowledge in cell and molecular biology will be applied through further coursework in genetics and developmental biology to examine how eukaryotic organisms function and how specific aspects of that function are perturbed by disease. Within the CMD major, students have the option of focusing their studies on animal systems, plant systems, or both. Graduates with a CMD major are well-prepared to pursue careers in academic or industrial research, biotechnology, genetic engineering, medicine, veterinary medicine, and other health related professions.
