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:
- Have an engineering technology or related position that utlizes the application of their engineering technology education in the workplaces.
- Have a record of active professional development trainings through workshops, advanced degree or certificates in any related field.
- Evidence of professional growth through promotions or changes in responsibilities that meet the evolving needs of the workplace.
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.
