The efforts of engineers have an incredibly direct impact on the way we live our daily lives. Think of how often you turn on your computer, tune in to your favorite TV show or depend on your smartphone to keep you connected to the world around you. Imagine life in hospitals before monitoring equipment was introduced and compare that to today's medical centers, which rely on technological advancements to keep us healthy, happy, and well. The technology we have come to depend on day in and day out comes from minds like yours.
You can shape the world we live in by pushing the technological envelope. The sky is the limit when it comes to what you can create with a few mathematical and scientific applications. Maybe you will develop the next big gadget tomorrow's generation can't live without. Perhaps you will be the one who discovers a better, faster, cheaper, and more efficient way to communicate, heal, power up, or power down. Your start as an engineer begins with an affordable education at Broward College.
The Engineering Technology programs at Broward College emphasize laboratory and hands-on training. Much of your time in core engineering classes will be spent in state-of-the-art labs which are equipped with:
