Do you like to figure out how things work? Do you like to make things work? If you said yes to these questions and have an interest in learning more about electronics, software, technology, or robotics, you should consider a career in engineering technology!
The engineering technology program at Allan Hancock College offers a wide variety of learning opportunities within the areas of electronics, mechatronics, and robotics.
Graduates from the engineering technology program may find themselves working as a technician or engineering assistant in support of and under the direction of a professional engineer. Graduates can also transfer to a four-year university to complete their bachelor's degree and become a technologist. Engineering technologists are needed in industries like mining, construction, petroleum, manufacturing, transportation, communications, and public utilities.
This program will help you to:
- use computer-aided drafting and design CAD software
- create, modify, delete, transfer, and plot graphic files to produce complete engineering drawings
- understand and apply physics concepts to the field of civil engineering technology
- master the use of electronic equipment in electrical, digital, and analog circuits
- use computer simulation and design software to conduct, analyze and interpret electrical, digital and analog circuits
- make calculations involving various electrical laws, formulas, and principles
- use research strategies to acquire information
- write technical laboratory reports with conclusions
- apply current knowledge and adapt to emerging applications of automation and control

Physical Geology explores the processes that are shaping Earth today. It examines the formation of rocks and mineral resources, the volcanic and tectonic activity that accompany release of Earth's internal heat, and the sculpting of the planet's surface that occurs as air, water and ice move in response to gravity and energy from the Sun. Lab activities include identification of rocks and minerals, interpretation of topographic and geologic maps, and field studies of regional geologic features.
