The Associate's degree General Engineering Technology program is designed to support the workforce education needs of a variety of companies and industries seeking engineering technology degree opportunities. Administered by the College's Technology Extension Division, GET degree programs are industry-sponsored and offered primarily at the facilities of sponsoring organizations. The curriculum consists of initial courses common to all GET degree programs, as well as a sequence of technology foundation and technical emphasis courses specific to the workforce education needs being served. These industry-specific technical courses are developed by a curriculum development team comprised of Vermont Tech faculty and representatives from the sponsoring organizations.
The programs offer applications-oriented science and technology curricula delivered in nontraditional modes to accommodate student and industry needs. The goal is to offer students a flexible, interdisciplinary path to the acquisition of basic engineering concepts and specific job-related skills needed to excel in their current positions and prepare for career growth.
