Program Overview
With a strong biblical foundation and a focus in workplace skills, Dordt's mechanical / energy systems track in the engineering technology program will prepare you for service in manufacturing engineering, industrial automation, computer-controlled engineering, and more.
Career Preparation
°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ's 2025 Career Outcome Rate was 99.7%! “I believe it is also, in part, indicative of the type of graduates we are encouraging our students to become—that is, graduates who don’t just learn for the sake of learning, but graduates who continue to learn for the sake of serving," said Dr. Ethan Brue, dean for technology and applied sciences. "°¼Í¹ÊÓƵis not just about training students for competence, but it is more about inviting students to embrace the goodness of work out of a deep care for the world.â€
