Program Outline
Degree Overview:
The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology program prepares students for a career in the dynamic field of engineering. The curriculum focuses on the latest trends and technologies in engineering, providing students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a variety of roles. The program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET.
Careers:
Graduates of this program can expect to work in various fields, including:
- Applications Engineer
- Controls Engineer
- Design Engineer
- Electrical Engineer
- Engineering Project Coordinator
- Electrical/Systems Engineer
- Manufacturing Engineer
- Product Engineer
- Quality Engineer
Other:
The Engineering Technology major comprises the following concentrations:
- Electrical/Electronics: This concentration allows seamless articulation with technical associate degrees for students who wish to advance their careers in the electrical/electronic engineering field. Electrical engineers and technologists design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, and power generation equipment. Electronics engineers design and develop electronic equipment, such as broadcast and communications systems—from portable music players to global positioning systems (GPS).
- Green and Alternative Energy: This concentration refers to energy sources that have no undesired consequences, for example, fossil fuels or nuclear energy. Alternative energy sources are renewable and are thought to be "free" energy sources. They all have lower carbon emissions, compared to conventional energy sources. These include biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, and hydroelectric energy sources. Combined with the use of recycling, the use of clean alternative energies such as the home use of solar power systems will help ensure man's survival into the 21st century and beyond. By 2050, one-third of the world's energy will need to come from solar, wind, and other renewable resources, according to British Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell, two of the world's largest oil companies.
- Integrated Engineering Technology: This concentration permits graduates from a variety of associate degree backgrounds to formulate a program of advanced study in upper-division technical courses, chosen with a faculty advisor, to gain additional technical depth or breadth.
- Mechanical/Systems: This concentration allows seamless articulation with technical associate degrees for students who wish to advance their careers in the mechanical or manufacturing field. Mechanical engineering technology is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers and technologists design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal devices, including tools, engines, and machines. Graduates of this program can expect to work mostly in engineering services, research and development, manufacturing industries, and the federal government.
