Eastern Iowa Community Colleges' new Engineering Technology program trains students in the practical application and implementation of existing technology used in the manufacturing world.

 
Engineering Technology is available at all three EICC colleges, Clinton, Muscatine and Scott Community Colleges. The Associate in Applied Science degree program is designed so that roughly the first three semesters are identical and students can take courses at any of the three colleges. In the final semester, the student has the choice of specializing in three different areas: Automation, Electro/Mechanical or Process Control.

The program provides a great deal of flexibility, making it ideal for students coming straight out of high school as well as those already in the workforce. It includes flexible scheduling, hybrid courses (a combination of in-class and online learning), and a model of eight-week modules that allow numerous start times during the year.

Engineering Technology was made possible through funding from a Pathways to Engineering Technology Careers grant which is 100% financed through a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.
