Engineering Technology Associate in Applied Science-Transfer Degree

Wenatchee Valley College’s Engineering Technology AAS-T is a two-year program geared for today’s high technology-based job market. It closely couples electrical and automation principles with high-level math and science coursework.

The degree’s primary focus is to have graduates that can integrate complex repairs and upgrades fresh off the planning stage and see them to completion.

This degree can offer students three paths to follow after graduation:

• The first path: Technician level employment. The two-year degree earning student will be qualified for similar employment as our ATS graduates in INDT Industrial Electronics. With the increased quantity of college-level courses, these graduates should be more apt to take on leadership roles within their chosen fields.
• The second path: This degree allows seamless transfer into our four-year BAS-ET program. It encompasses all the classes required to make the BAS-ET program a true four-year time investment.
