Building Automation Engineering

Design, install, and troubleshoot automated systems.

Building automation is a part of our every day lives.

Building automation is used to centrally manage building systems and automatically control features like room temperature, elevators, and security systems. When you pursue your bachelor's in Building Automation Engineering Technology, you get to choose your area of specialization for the first two years by entering into one of the associate's degrees below. From there you'll focus on combining those skills with hands-on lab time, working on industry-standard equipment. And by the time you're ready to graduate, employers will be knocking on your door.
