Training in the Industrial Engineering Technology programs opens doors for a variety of careers working with mechanical systems, electrical circuits, electric motors and motor controls, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and industrial automation. Students will also have the opportunity to earn OSHA 10 certification all while learning in a high-tech, hands-on environment.
The IET classes at FHTC allowed me to learn a wide range of skills and I was able to make industry connections through manufacturing tours and special events.
