Department of Engineering Technology at NMU

Programs offered by the Engineering Technology department prepare students for careers in fields such as electronics engineering technology, mechanical engineering technology, industrial technology, technology and applied sciences and industrial technology education. These programs have a foundation in mathematics, physical science, and computer related science, as well as an in-depth technical focus.

The department also offers associate degrees in engineering design, electronics technology, industrial electrical technology, and manufacturing, as well as one-year certificate programs computer numerical control and plastic injection technology. These programs are designed for students who are seeking quick entry into the workforce. In most instances, courses completed toward an associate degree are applicable toward a baccalaureate degree by laddering classes from one program into another.
