A new Engineering Technology Degree Program has been approved by HCC's Academic Affairs Committee.  The new program will begin offering existing courses in Spring, 2009 and will be offering new ET courses in Fall, 2009.  Degree's offered will include Associate in Science (AS) and Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Engineering Technology.  In addition, four College Credit Certificates are available as well.

Registration for the upcoming Spring 2009 semester began on November 1rst.  As expected
upon the launch of the new Engineering Technology program a few online registration related "bugs"
have been encountered.  The issues found so far include:

1.  Online registration fails for EGS 2122C, Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing, due to a prerequisite requirement.
2.  Online registraton fails for ETI 1403, Introduction to Engineering Technology, due to class limit full.

The root cause of both of these issues is being worked on but the issue may continue to plague students through
2009.  The typical "work around" is for the student to see their Advisor and obtain permission to register for the
course.
