Career

Career Opportunities in Engineering Technology

From industry-relevant insights to professional development services designed with your career goals in mind, our Engineering Technology Certificate can help you pursue your goals.

Graduates of our online Engineering Technology Certificate program may consider entry-level career opportunities in position such as:
  • Electrical or Electronics Installer and Repairer

    As an electrical and electronics installer and repairer, you may assist an experienced technician with AC and DC electronics, electronic devices and microcontrollers. Your work might be more theoretical or more hands-on, depending on the specifics of your position.

  • Electro-mechanical and Mechatronics Technician

    As an entry-level electro-mechanical technician, you may assist an experienced technologist in the operation, testing and maintenance of electromechanical or robotic equipment. You may find yourself reading blueprints, schematics and diagrams to determine the method and sequence of assembly of a machine or piece of equipment.

  • Mechanical Engineering Technician

    Entry-level mechanical engineering technicians help mechanical engineers design, develop, and test manufacture machines and other devices. You may also make sketches and rough layouts, record and analyze data, and report your findings.

  • Entry-Level Field Service Technician

    An entry-level field service technician installs, maintains and repairs equipment and may work in virtually any industry. Unlike computer use support specialists, who work mostly from a remote computer, field service technicians spend most of their time traveling to sites where the equipment is housed.
