Engineering
The Engineering curriculum prepares you for future study in the following areas of engineering: aeronautical, aerospace, agricultural, bioengineering, computer, chemical, civil, electrical, food, industrial, mechanical, nuclear, and petroleum. You may complete half of your bachelor’s degree requirements at Barton Community College and earn the Associate in Science Degree upon completion of the program requirements.
Engineering Technology
The education of the engineering technologist parallels that of the engineer, but is directed toward the practical aspects of engineering design and operations. The technologist may work with the engineer in a design group; however, as a technologist, you are not limited to such activity and you may be involved in management or technical sales. Kansas State University at Salina offers bachelors and associate degrees in a wide variety of fields of engineering technology and aviation. A curriculum guide describing their technology programs can be obtained by calling 800-248-5782 or (785) 826-2640. Since the required courses in the first year of these programs are very program specific, you are encouraged to start your two years of course work there. However, if you need to take developmental courses or if you are unable to start there immediately, you may complete some of their required courses at Barton. If you do complete some of the required courses at Barton, you will still be need to spend two additional years at Kansas State University at Salina to complete their specific program requirements.
