Program Information

The Engineering Systems Technology program will prepare students to design, prototype, build, and troubleshoot the types of control systems that are used in today’s high-tech industries and businesses. Students will gain knowledge in electricity, electronics, digital circuits, computer-controlled devices, system programming, programmable logic controllers (PLC), human-machine interfaces (HMI), industrial networking, pneumatics, robots, computer-aided design (2D & 3D CAD), problem-solving, and critical thinking. This program prepares students to pursue a career as an engineering technician in a variety of settings such as manufacturing, design labs, quality labs, supply chains, and other businesses that utilize current smart technology control strategies.

The Engineering Systems Technology program offers an associate degree and one certificate. Credit for courses in the certificate may be applied toward the associate degree.

Scheduling and Entry Options

The Engineering Systems Technology program is located on the Pendleton Campus. Program courses are offered during the day beginning in the Fall semester of each year. Entry during any other term will be permitted but may limit the courses that are available. Full-time students usually complete the program requirements in five semesters. Part-time students should allow at least nine consecutive semesters to earn the degree. Although courses can be completed in any order, subject to the completion of course prerequisites, students are advised to follow the recommended course sequence. General Education course requirements can be completed on any TCTC campus or online, as available.
