The Engineering Technologies Department consists of five different programs offering a combination of Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degrees and certificates. The programs are as follows:
Computer-Aided Drafting and Design Technology
San Antonio College offers a Tech Prep Degree Program for computer-aided drafting (CAD) and design students who desire to enter the manufacturing or construction industries. Graduates of this program will usually enter the field with the title of drafter, designer, or CAD operator. Advanced courses and well-equipped laboratories enable students to extend their theoretical and practical knowledge of various design disciplines. Upon satisfactory completion of this two-year program, the student is awarded an AAS Degree in CAD and Design Technology. This degree transfers in part or whole to several Baccalaureate Degree Programs. Information on transferability can be obtained from a department advisor.
Besides the two AAS Degrees in CAD and Design Technology, the program provides students with other options. A one-year CAD Operations Certificate is also available. In addition, there is an Enhanced Skills Certificate for work beyond the normal two-year degree point. A Marketable Skills Certificate in Autocad® is also available.
All programs have been designed in cooperation with an advisory committee of engineers and professional drafters and designers.
Credit transferable from high school includes: up to 12 semester credit hours for DFTG 1405 Technical Drafting, DFTG 2417 Descriptive Geometry, DFTG 1409 Basic Computer-Aided Drafting, or DFTG 1417 Architectural Drafting-Residential for students who have attained the appropriate competencies from an approved Tech Prep Degree Program high school.
Electronics Technology
San Antonio College offers a Tech Prep Degree Program for electronics technology students who desire to specialize in the field of communications electronics technology, computer electronics technology, or industrial electronics technology. This program leads to an AAS Degree in Electronics Technology with specialties in any of the three areas. Advanced courses and well-equipped laboratories enable students to extend their theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of electronics. The program provides the student with practical internships with local businesses and manufacturers to provide real life experiences in the electronics career field in preparation for full-time employment after graduation. In addition to the two-year AAS Degree, the program provides students with the following exit options: a Certificate in Electronics Technology or Industrial Electronics; transfer to any other Associate’s Degree Program in Texas which offers an electronics major under the State’s Workforce Education Course Manual (WECM); and/or transfer to a four-year university to continue their education. This degree transfers to several general Baccalaureate Degree Programs.
Two additional degrees are also offered in nuclear electronics or communications/radar electronics. These approved Tech Prep Degrees consist of a combination of San Antonio College courses and training courses offered by the U.S. Navy. For more information, contact the electronics program office at (210) 486-0080.
Credit transferable from high school includes: 12 semester hours credit for CETT 1402 Electricity Principles, CETT 1429 Solid State Devices, and CETT 1425 Digital Fundamentals for students who have attained the appropriate competencies from an approved tech prep high school or completed the courses in high school for dual credit.
Engineering Technology
Students will find that this program prepares them for positions as technicians, surveyors, estimators, or facility managers. High paying positions are available to the graduates of this program almost anywhere in the U.S. The Engineering Technology Program is also for people already in jobs who wish to increase their knowledge and eligibility for promotion. The courses in this degree program transfer in whole or part to several Baccalaureate Degree Programs. Information on transferability is available from a department advisor.
The Engineering Technology Program offers two different specialties: engineering technology and surveying engineering technology. Detailed information related to each specialty can be found in section 11 of this bulletin under the Engineering Technology listing.
For further information, call 210/486-0066 or meet with a faculty advisor in room 145 of the Chance Academic Center (CAC).
Geographic Information Systems
The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Program is for those students who desire to enter a field which links graphic maps with data and utilizes the result for analysis and data manipulation. Graduates of this program will usually enter the field with the title of GIS technician, GIS analyst, or GIS manager depending on the company. This relatively new technology is opening many positions in numerous companies utilizing GIS hardware and software to make important decisions. Areas where these systems are being utilized include marketing, natural resource utilization, tax appraisal data, real estate, geology, petroleum exploration, and any other area where maps and data might be linked.
This program is a combination of GIS software classes, CAD classes, and surveying classes, which will uniquely prepare the graduate for this field. Advanced courses and well-equipped laboratories enable students to extend their theoretical and practical knowledge in these disciplines. Upon satisfactory completion of the two-year program, the student is awarded an AAS Degree in GIS Technology. This degree transfers in part or whole to several Baccalaureate Degree Programs. Information on transferability can be obtained from a department advisory.
Besides the two-year AAS Degree, the program provides students with the option of a one year GIS Certificate. This certificate will provide the graduate with the skills needed to gain entry level employment in this field.
An Associate of Arts (AA) Degree in GIS is also offered through the Chemistry/Earth Sciences/Astronomy Department.
All programs have been designed in cooperation with an advisory committee of geographers and professional GIS technicians and managers.
Occupational Safety and Health Technology
The occupational safety and health technician assists in developing and implementing safety programs. It is the technician’s responsibility to prevent or correct unsafe working conditions. The technician utilizes knowledge of industrial processes, hazardous materials, and loss control analysis. The technician investigates accidents and near accidents to determine causes and to provide preventive measures.
