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 Electricity. 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.
  • The third path: With the addition of two extra quarters of course work, the AAS-T degree will provide the student with enough credits to also earn a two-year transfer degree (DTA). The DTA will allow them to pursue engineering or similar degree at other four- year institutions.
