There are two pathways in the Engineering Technology Department. One leads to a Bachelor of Science in Lean Systems Engineering Technology, and the other leads to a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering Technology. Students begin each pathway at BCTC to receive an Associate of Applied Science in two years. Students will work towards their Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Kentucky during the second two years.
