Engineering Technology Associate in Applied Science (3000)

The Engineering Technology program is an integrated, cross-disciplinary degree program that prepares the student for a career as an engineering technician in a manufacturing or industrial environment. The degree is not intended to be a transfer degree; however, some four-year colleges have developed articulation agreements with specific AAS degree programs.

Articulated AAS Degree Programs

Articulated programs are designed for Richland students who intend to transfer to another institution to complete a four-year degree after earning an Associate in Applied Science degree at Richland.

Success Coaches and other staff in the Student Success Center provide extensive transfer information on Richland’s Associate in Applied Science degree articulated transfer agreements (2+2) with various baccalaureate institutions.

Southern Illinois University-Carbondale – BS, Industrial Management & Applied Engineering

Northern Illinois University – BS, Engineering Technology-Applied Manufacturing Technology

Additional Program Considerations

Students attending full time who begin in spring may not finish in a two-year time frame. All AAS degrees include a required minimum of 15 general education credits.
