Engineering Technologies
Blue collar goes high-tech at Columbus State's Engineering Technologies Department. Our faculty give students a hands-on learning experience that prepares them for the high-tech manufacturing and technical jobs of the future.
Our students take part in a stunning array of projects, from developing a solar car to a cutting-edge device to track packages. And when they get out, they're well-prepared to find exciting careers.
We offer two-year degrees in three categories, as well as four focused certificates. Graduates can then transfer to a four-year college, or go straight into the work force.
