About Engineering and Industrial Technology

The Tri-County Technical College Engineering and Industrial Technology programs prepare students for exciting careers as automation specialists, multi-skilled technicians, automotive technicians, HVAC technicians, facilities technicians, industrial maintenance technicians, designers, CNC programmers, welders, engineering technicians, manufacturing managers, and more. The skills learned here can be used on the job in a variety of settings.

Our highly qualified faculty provide project-based, hands-on learning experiences that require the regular participation of the student. As such, programs in this division have a more rigorous attendance policy than the College.

The Engineering Systems Technology degree prepares the student to pursue a career as an electromechanical or automation technician. Students who enjoy solving problems and want to work with sophisticated robots should consider the Engineering Systems Technology program.

Students will learn the skills to work as a technician, systems integrator, automation technician, or in product testing. Students may choose to take courses towards an Associate's Degree in this field, however, we have a large number of students who choose to transfer to a 4-year institution to earn their Bachelor's Degree. Engineering Systems Technology has well-established transfer programs with multiple 4-year institutions.
