Engineering Technology - Advanced Manufacturing, A.S.
Program Overview
Engineering Technology - Advanced Manufacturing (ETAM) is a 60-credit hour Associate in Science (A.S.) degree program. Students will prepare for engineering technology support positions in high-tech production, manufacturing and semiconductor industries. In the ETAM Lab, students will learn to: program and troubleshoot programmable logic controllers (PLC's) and industrial robots; understand, operate and control mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems; and develop hands-on skills with metrology and quality inspection tools, software, and 3D printers. Classes will be held in the newly built Ralph W. Cellon Jr. Institute for Skilled Trades and Advanced Manufacturing.

Civics Literacy Requirement
As of October 20, 2021, the State Board of Education approved revisions to Florida's civic literacy competency requirements, which now includes passing a civic literacy course (AMH 2020 or POS 2041) and the state civic literacy exam. Learn more at sfcollege.edu/registrar/graduation/faq/.
Enrollment
The program encourages students to work and intern during the summers. Engineering Technology courses (typically) are not conducted during the summer months and therefore there are no summer admissions to the program. As the program continues to grow, instruction of entry level courses during the summer may become part of the overall process for the program.
