Engineering Technology B.A.S.
This program has been placed on HOLD for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Mission Statement
The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree in Engineering Technology (ET) provides a baccalaureate pathway for students who have earned select two-year Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees. This new flexible and affordable 3+1 degree program is a partnership between Nevada State University and the College of Southern Nevada (CSN). Students from CSN who have completed the following 2-year AAS degrees may pursue the appropriate BAS option:
- AAS in Computing and Information Technology with an emphasis in Networking transfers into the BAS-ET Computer Networking track.
- AAS in Engineering Technology with an emphasis in either Electronics (Bench Technician, Biomedical Equipment Technician, or Defense Contractor Technician), Self-Serve Device Technician, or Slot Repair transfers into the BAS-ET Electronics track.
- AAS in Engineering Technology with Telecommunications emphasis transfers into the BAS-ET Telecommunications track.
After completing the 2-year AAS degree at CSN, students will take one additional year of advanced technical 300- and 400-level courses at CSN using their state-of-the-art, multimillion-dollar computer networking, electronics, and telecommunications facilities, and one year of management and upper-division general education courses at Nevada State University to complete their degree.
Program Learning Outcomes
In addition to their technical course work for Engineering Technology at CSN, the NSU student completing the BAS degree will be able to:
- Integrate leadership, human resource management, quality assurance, productivity analysis, and customer service management skills into the workplace.
- Evaluate principles of management and organizational behavior in the workplace.
- Explain why employability skills such as communications, teamwork, critical thinking, problem solving, and other "soft skills" are vitally important in the workplace.
