The mission of Engineering Technology is to empower students to become innovative problem solvers and function effectively in today’s global, rapidly changing, diverse work environment by offering a dynamic curriculum that provides an academic foundation for lifelong learning in the engineering technology field.
The B.S. in Engineering Technology offers concentrations in “Mechanical Engineering Technology”, “Computer Networking Engineering Technology”, and “Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology”, “Robotics and Autonomous Engineering Technology.”
Program Educational Objectives
The B.S. in Engineering Technology program will produce graduates who will:
- Actively remain aware of the professional and ethical standards in the field of engineering technology through pursuing or completing an advance degree, professional development course, and/or engineering certifications.
- Effectively use communication skills and tools to productively work in a team environment with others of diverse cultural and interdisciplinary backgrounds
- Apply fundamental principles of engineering technology to solve complex problems and/or design systems that contribute to the efficiency or effectiveness of their professional organization.
- Utilize technology and leadership skills to make sound decisions to implement, manage and integrate systems or processes that comply with professional standards
The Engineering Technology program prepares its graduates with a blend of technical knowledge, theoretical skills, and the hands-on experience necessary to enter professional careers in design, installation, operation, computer, electronics, information technology, mechanical, computer aided manufacturing, control, robotics and automated systems. Engineering Technologists use the principles and theories of engineering, science, and mathematics to solve technical problems in engineering and engineering technology related fields. The successful completion of this program will not only provide better job opportunities, but also prepare students who plan on pursuing graduate studies in the related fields.
The graduates of this program are qualified to obtain professional careers in high-tech industries, government, and business or pursue their graduate degree in the related fields. Graduates can obtain positions such as: Computer Engineer, Network Administrator, Computer System Analyst, Computer and Information System Manager, Network Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Automated Process Engineer, Production Engineer and Plant Supervisor.
