This rigorous program
is a collaborative partnership with HFM BOCES, Fulton-Montgomery
Community College, and the National Science Foundation to create
career opportunities for students in the field of engineering
technology. Students will receive STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics) instruction focusing on career
exploration in current and emerging technologies. Students will
also apply college-level Algebra, Physics, and Engineering
principles to develop systematic approaches to problem-solving
and critical thinking skills.

Course Content
During the course of
this two-year program, students are eligible to receive college
credits through Fulton-Montgomery Community College for the following courses: Intermediate Algebra;
Physics I; Physics II; Introduction to Engineering; and
Semiconductor & Fiber Optics Technology.
Students enrolled in
this program will utilize FMCC’s Center for Engineering and
Technology laboratories, including the chip fabrication clean
room, robotics lab, and electronics facility. Students
completing the engineering technology program will be prepared
for the following career pathways: civil engineering;
electrical/electronic engineering; mechanical engineering;
silicon wafer fabrication; analytical lab technician; and
environmental engineering.
Students will learn
to:
• Apply informed engineering design interactively to
complete a project.
• Use computer–aided engineering design to address
challenges.
• Describe the fabrication process involved to
produce integrated circuits, semiconductor
devices, and fiber optic components.
• Work in small groups to accomplish goals
interacting effectively with others.
• Solve engineering technology problems; applying
relevant principles of mechanics, heat/
thermodynamics, structure of matter,
electricity/magnetism, and sound/electromagnetic
waves.
• Apply algebra and trigonometry to solve problems in
physics and technology.
• Describe how engineering/technological fields
impact individuals, society, and the
environment.
• Cite, describe, and plan career pathways in STEM
fields.
The following job
opportunities will be available at Global Foundries chip fab
plan in Malta:
• Fabrication System Set
up Technician
