Engineering Technology
Technology programs prepare you for employment immediately after graduation by providing you with the knowledge and skills for your first job. While working, many graduates have also continued their studies at local four-year colleges and universities. Programs have been designed by Community College faculty based on their years of experience and current knowledge of the Allegheny County job market.
These programs are continuously evaluated to ensure that they meet the technological needs in the future. In many cases, the programs are monitored by advisory committees of representatives of business and industry. Graduates of these programs are surveyed after graduation to make certain that the skills they have learned at the Community College are appropriate at work.
