Program Description

The Associate of Science (AS) in Applied Engineering Technology-Biomedical Design and Manufacturing degree program will prepare students for a career in Biomedical Device Manufacturing at either a technician level, or advance to an applied engineering level. Drawing heavily on industry representative feedback, this unique program of study includes an introduction to biomedical manufacturing technology and industry-specific software and hardware training. Along with a strong general education core including a solid science and math foundation, students will participate in coursework that strengthens their communication and critical thinking/problem-solving abilities. For assistance in program planning, or to explore additional transfer options, students should schedule a time to meet with an academic advisor. This degree may transfer in part or in its entirety to baccalaureate institutions. Students should meet with a representative of the transfer institution when planning their program.
