Engineering Technology Major

The mission of the Engineering Technology degree is to provide critical thinking skills and knowledge of engineering technologies. The Engineering Technology degree provides students a background in applied electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering technology courses by combining hands-on laboratory training with mathematics, science, and general education.

Successful graduates often seek employment in fields such as production, design, engineering, construction, manufacturing and operations, and maintenance.

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
