Engineering Technology community-college programs in Illinois

12 community colleges in Illinois report awarding credentials in Engineering Technology. Hands-on technician training in mechatronics, electronics, and industrial systems. The list below ranks them by share of total credentials awarded in this field — a directional measure of program scale and focus.

If you are choosing a Engineering Technology program in Illinois, weigh program-specific accreditation, clinical or apprenticeship placement, and the institution's articulation agreements with Illinois public universities (for transfer-bound students) or its local employer relationships (for occupational tracks). Within Illinois published tuition tends to fall in a tight range, so the program-quality questions usually matter more than cost. The ranked list below is a useful starting point but should not substitute for a campus visit and a conversation with the program advisor.
