- Our faculty have over 70 years of combined industry experience in a wide variety of industrial settings and a strong understanding of what skill sets are most important to employers.
- Internships are an integral part of students' learning in the engineering technology program. Engineering technology students complete paid internships at companies such as Siouxland Machine Inc., Pella Corporation, Vermeer Corporation, Kooima Company, and more.
