Engineering technologists use a variety of tools, such as modeling and simulation, to manage the complexity of computer chip design, software integration, bridge building and automation.

Many engineering technologists work side-by-side with other engineers and scientists in design, research and development. Others work in quality control, redesign or technology deployment. In manufacturing, they work in product design, development or production.
Because of the practical skills you gain with an Engineering Technology degree, our graduates are highly sought after in nearly every industry sector. Other graduates have enrolled in master’s or doctoral programs in technical fields, business or law.
In the Department of Engineering Technology, the curriculum applies current and emerging technologies to solve engineering problems. We emphasize learning through experience in every course and provide hands-on laboratory activities. This prepares you to be a productive citizen, leader and technological innovator in a global society.
You may pursue an ABET-accredited B.S.E.T. degree in:

• Construction engineering technology

• Electrical engineering technology

• Mechanical engineering technology

Research projects are determined primarily by short- to medium-term industry needs. You’ll develop solutions to relevant industry problems by using advanced science, engineering and mathematics skills and known or emerging technologies.
Faculty-led research projects are funded by industry, state and federal agencies or foundations. They also provide research opportunities for undergraduate students. Our well-equipped laboratories give you the upmost in learning environments.
You can join other engineering technology students by participating in student chapters of the Association of Construction Engineering Technology or the Society of Automotive Engineers, among others. Participating in these organizations can also help you earn internships.
