      "markdown": "#### Engineering Technology Associate of Science\n\nThe Engineering Technology program at Bakersfield College is designed for those who want a hands-on engineering career with a focus on technology in an applied setting. The program provides students with foundational knowledge in mathematics, critical thinking, problem solving, and engineering design, as well as strong technical skills so that students can adapt to the ever-changing modern industrial workplace. Upon completion of the required core classes engineering technology students select elective classes from an engineering discipline (or combination of disciplines) of interest – architectural, civil, industrial drawing, mechanical, electrical/electronics, or occupational safety. Graduates of associate degree programs seek employment as engineering technicians. Graduates of bachelor degree programs are referred to as technologists and can earn a Professional Engineers license in the state of California. Engineering technicians and technologists serve as members of the engineering team and engage in the management, design, production, assembly, quality control and sales activities in their respective fields. Cal Poly Pomona, CSU Long Beach, and the California Maritime Academy each have bachelor’s degree programs in engineering technology. Students interested in transferring should meet with a Bakersfield College counselor and plan the courses required for transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology. To Achieve the Associate of Science: Upon completion of graduation requirements and the required degree courses with at least a ‘C’ or ‘P’ grade in each course, the student will be awarded an Associate of Science degree.\n\n### Program Learning Outcomes\n\n-   1\\. Solve technical engineering problems by applying design and engineering process methodologies.\n\n-   2\\. Demonstrate an ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge.\n\n-   3\\. Communicate engineering design solutions effectively through individual and cooperative group efforts including speaking, writing, presentation, and the use of various design graphics and technical software.\n\n-   4\\. Demonstrate an ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team.\n\n### Program Requirements"
