Abstract: This paper will outline the procedural steps for starting a new associate degree level engineering technology program at a post secondary technical college.It will include the motivation and reasoning behind establishing the program as well as the methodologies used to create the curriculum and course offerings.It will also document what procedures worked well in the process and what did not.A unique feature of the process is obtaining input from both university faculty and industry professionals as to the learning outcomes/levels that program should attempt to achieve.This therefore, would maximize the student's opportunities upon graduation by providing them options to either continue their education at a Baccalaureate degree level or enter the workforce with employable skills.By following the methods used in developing this engineering technology program, it is hoped that other institutions can implement the start up of new and emerging engineering technology programs with proven methods of success.
