The engineering technology program aims to prepare a group of graduates who will fill advanced engineering technology positions in business and industry. The main objectives of the program are: 1) to develop students with enhanced technological skills; and 2) to place these students in business, industry and government as technical problem-solvers.
Upon successful completion, engineering technology graduates are expected to:
- Apply scientific concepts to the solution of technological problems.
- Apply theories, concepts and principles of related disciplines to develop the communication skills required for engineering technologists.
- Perform as a technical professional in business, industry, education and government.
- Apply concepts and skills developed in a variety of technical and professional disciplines including computer applications, materials properties, production processes, quality control, industrial design and safety.
- Plan, facilitate and integrate technology and problem solving techniques in the economic enterprise.
- Engage in applied technical research to add to the knowledge of the discipline and to solve problems which surface in the workplace.
