What is the program about?

The Quality Engineering Technology (QET) program prepares individuals for quality management, engineering, or technician roles in the areas of business, industry, and service. Students learn Quality Management, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control skills. Competencies include metrology, auditing, data analysis, continuous improvement, and problem-solving techniques that can be applied toward financial, health care, manufacturing, and service/retail fields. Students take part in lecture-lab structured courses and hands-on demonstrations of course principles, ensuring that they will gain practical knowledge as well as the fundamentals. Those who wish to further their studies may transfer to four-year colleges and universities. This degree program contains one or more embedded certificates which will be automatically awarded when the certificate requirements are completed. If you do not want to receive the embedded certificate(s), please notify Registration and Student Records at studentrecords@sinclair.edu.

Program Outcomes
