Why Choose Engineering Technology?
Engineering technology focuses on practical application of knowledge rather than theoretical knowledge. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (B.S.E.T.) offers students a foundation in mechanical, electrical, and industrial engineering and technology through an interdisciplinary program.
Careers
This program prepares you for a career in a variety of engineering fields, including for example:
- Automated manufacturing
- Quality control
- Product development and design
- Software development and design
- System development and design
- Field service engineering
- Systems engineering
- Process engineering
You’ll also be prepared for project management and business operations environments.
Academics and Curriculum
The B.S.E.T. is a 120-semester hour program designed to prepare students for a variety of careers in the industry. The coursework within the program is comprised of a technical core covering engineering and computer science topics, as well as a focus area in industrial and systems engineering or electrical engineering, for a comprehensive curriculum of modern engineering design skills.
Students choose a specialization in either industrial/systems engineering or electrical engineering, with a focus on real-world applications. The B.S.E.T. includes courses in computing and information technology, business analytics, or a technical elective block (available to transfer students with an earned associate degree in an engineering technology field).
Admission
