MiraCosta College has a new degree and certificate program in engineering technology aimed at providing students with the education and training needed to secure well-paying, middle-skilled jobs as engineering technicians in as little as a year. The new program began enrolling its first students this fall. “This is a great opportunity for students to get an in-demand degree for a high-demand profession,” said Professor Paul Clarke, who helped design the program. “It also provides a ladder of sorts, in that students can earn their degree, get a good job, work for a few years, then come back and earn a bachelor’s degree to further their career opportunities.”
