“The AS/AAS Engineering Technology Degree represents a breath of fresh air for our College. With it and the direct help from FLATE we are able to respond to a local industry (Lockheed Martin, PorPoly Manufacturing) in an effective fashion. Frankly, our response to their needs would not have really met their needs if FLATE had not been there to help.”


C. R. Dassance, President Central Florida Community College

Engineering Technology Frameworks
Degree Reform

Industry, community colleges, FLATE, and the Florida Department of Education partnered to produce the Engineering Technology A.S./A.A.S. Degree Program. It has 3 major components: (I) general education; (II) an ET technical core; and, (III) specialization tracts that address regional industry needs. The ET Core aligns with the MSSC Certified Production Technician (CPT) national certification. A statewide articulation agreement provides 15 credit hours of the ET Core for anyone enrolling in the degree program and having a current CPT certification.
