ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE

Broc Krietemeyer returned to Lake Land College in 2019 to not only finish earning a Business Management degree, but to also pursue a degree in Applied Engineering Technology after having left more than 10 years prior.

“I began to really take a look inward to discover my deep-seated goals, passions and my own resolve to achieve them,” Krietemeyer said.

“Applied Engineering Technology can and will open so many doors if you apply yourself. If you show a will to do well, the staff here will be more than willing to provide you with everything you need to succeed.”

While working toward an Applied Engineering Technology degree, Krietemeyer also completed an associate degree in Business Management, saying that he was grateful for the sense of accomplishment he felt in earning the degree he had started years before.

“I knew I only had a couple more courses to take to finish what I had started over ten years ago,” Krietemeyer said. “I took those courses, applied myself and finally earned the degree.”

Upon graduating in Spring 2022, Krietemeyer said he feels he will be highly marketable in future careers due to his experience in both businessmanagement and applied engineering technology.

Extending gratitude to those he has interacted with during his time at Lake Land, Krietemeyer said he is especially appreciative of the support he received from instructors Gary Lindley, Scott Rhine, Walter (Rob) Robison, Michael Beavers, Joe Tillman and administrative assistant Cathy Montgomery.

“Lake Land has given me an incredible amount of beneficial information over the years,” Krietemeyer said. “Words alone cannot express the gratitude I have toward every Lake Land College staff member I’ve encountered along my path. Without all of them, I would not be where I am today.”
