Program VideoWhy Should I Choose This Program?
• Are you Interested in designing AND building?• Do you have a wide range of interest that covers:
• Mechanical systems, Electronics, Computer systems/networking, and Automation
• OR maybe you can’t decide which areas you are most interested in, and want functional knowledge in all
• You learn best in a small class size where you get to know your classmates and your instructors
