Electromechanical
Introduction
The Technical Studies curriculum
is designed to meet the rapidly changing
workforce training needs of business and
industry. Focused on meeting short-term
educational needs, the degree can also be
used as a general studies degree to enhance
the education and training of current
employees or ensure basic technical and
general work-based skills for new employees.
The curriculum allows employers to develop
a specific plan of study negotiated with, and
approved by, appropriate College faculty and
administrators. The basic structure of the
curriculum includes four components
(general education, a technical core,
occupational-technical content area(s), and
work-based learning.)
Customized plans of study may be designed
and developed to meet specific company or
industry needs, in accordance with the
structure described below.
