PURPOSE: This two-year degree prepares students to be mechanical engineering technologists with a focus on energy utilization and power generation systems.  Technologists help mechanical engineers design, develop, test, and manufacture mechanical devices; install, repair, test, adjust, and operate energy-related devices like photovoltaic and wind turbine systems; create, review and edit CAD drawing; or assist with development phases in research and development labs. This degree is offered at the Chester Campus. All career-technical degrees are guided by advisory committees comprised of local business leaders.

CREDENTIALS:  An Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree is a major in a career-technical area that takes two years for full-time students to complete. Although the purpose of an AAS degree is to gain skills for employment, some transfer institutions may accept some or all of the courses from an AAS major. 

TRANSFER INFORMATION:  This program is not intended for transfer. Students desiring to transfer should consult their academic advisors and their intended transfer institutions for specific direction in program and course selection.
