If you enjoy working with your hands and want to build technical skills for high‑tech industries, the Engineering Technology program at CNM offers career‑focused training with multiple certificate options.

Engineering Technician, Certificate of Completion

The Engineering Technician certificate program helps you learn skills used in high-tech manufacturing, like making semiconductors, solar cells, and other small-materials advanced technologies. You will get hands-on experience by working with real tools, equipment, and projects. This way, you learn by doing, not just by reading or listening.

When you finish the Engineering Technician program, you’ll be ready to apply for entry-level jobs. This program can also help you continue your education in engineering or other related areas later on.

Photonics, Certificate of Completion

The Photonics certificate program focuses on light‑based technologies used in many modern industries. You’ll learn hands‑on skills in optics, lasers, photonics systems, electronics, and basic quantum concepts. These skills get you ready to build, test, and maintain equipment used in fields such as aerospace, telecommunications, semiconductor manufacturing, clean energy, and new quantum technologies.

This certificate is a good choice if you want short‑term training for jobs in a growing technology field or want to build technical skills with other STEM courses.
