Program Mission, Description, and Outcomes

Mission:

To prepare students for successful employment in the field of Engineering Technology through quality education and advisement.

Description:

The Bachelors of Science in Engineering Technology prepares graduates for technical positions in the expanding fields of industrial operations, mechanical design, and construction design. The program has a strong commitment to maintain standards of excellence in content and to continuously upgrade curriculum to meet industry needs.

The Bachelors of Science in Engineering Technology uses a 2 + 2 model requiring the completion of an associates degree for entry into the program. The degree components are shown below.

Program Educational Objectives:

The educational objectives of the BSET program are as follows.

  1. Career: Graduates will use their broad understanding of the key principles and practices of engineering technology, the written and oral communications skills, and the ability to work with others to apply these skills and knowledge to the design, implementation, and maintenance of systems.

  2. Skills: Graduates will contribute to their profession using the mathematical and scientific concepts that underlie engineering technology applications, will apply this understanding, and acquire new skills and knowledge necessary to analyze technology problems and develop suitable solutions.

  3. Professionalism and Ethics: Graduates will understand the ethical, human, and social issues of their field and will be involved members of their local and global communities acting as responsible technical professionals.

  4. Life-Long Learning: Graduates will be active contributors to their employer and their profession with a strong commitment to continuous individual and organizational improvement, effective communication, teamwork, quality, timeliness, and continued professional development.

Program Outcomes:

Graduates of the program will be able to:

  1. Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;

  2. Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;

  3. Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;

  4. Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and

  5. Function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

Financial Aid

    This program is eligible for federal financial aid and state Bright Futures Scholarship Program.

    Financing Options: All students are encouraged to apply for federal and state student financial assistance by completing their FAFSA at studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. For more information on grants, loans and work programs available see the Office of Financial Aid webpage at daytonastate.edu/financial-aid/. Students are also encouraged to apply for one of the many Daytona State College Foundation scholarships offered each semester. For more information see: daytonastate.edu/scholarships/.

    Additional Admission Requirements

    1. A completed Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology application. An application to the BSET program can be completed in the Admissions Office, the BSET program office, or online through https://www.daytonastate.edu. 

    2. A conferred Associate of Arts or Science or Applied Science, with an overall grade point average of 2.5 or higher, from a regionally accredited institution of higher education; or

    3. Sixty (60) credits of transferrable college-level coursework from a regionally accredited institution, with all core coursework having grades “C” or better.

    4. Typically, graduates of A.S. degree programs transfer 15-18 credits of General Education Core. A.A. graduates will typically transfer the total 36 General Education Core Requirements into the BSET program. A.A. graduates or those admitted with 60+ college credits will also require 18 hours in technical courses, or other area approved by the department chair in lieu of the additional general education courses required of the A.S. student. Please see an advisor for individual technical area requirements.

    5. A grade point average between 2.0 and 2.49 may be admitted conditionally. Applicants may be admitted to the program with the approval of the Chair of the BSET program.

    6. Completion with a grade of “C” or better of ENC 1101 – English or its equivalent.

    7. Completion with a grade of “C” or better of MAC 1105 – College Algebra or its equivalent.

    8. Completion with a grade of “C” or better of PHY2048 – Physics with Calculus or students will be required to take ETG 3541 Applied Mechanics and Physics. 

    9. Official transcripts from all previous post-secondary institutions must be received for evaluation by the Records Office at Daytona State. International Students must have their transcripts evaluated by a recognized international evaluator.   

    Additional Completion Requirements

    1. Completion of a Computer Programming (e.g. EGN3214, COP2800, COP2360, or equivalent) course. 
    2. Completion of Senior Design courses (ETI4448 and ETG4950C) at Daytona State College.
    3. Completion with a grade of “C” or better for all program specific courses

    Careers

    Some associated careers are technical positions in the expanding fields of engineering and technology including but not limited to: systems engineer, process analyst, technical sales engineer, project engineer, field engineer, and calibration engineer. 

    The occupational outlook for engineering technology is available at https://www.bls.gov/ooh/field-of-degree/engineering-technologies/engineering-technologies-field-of-degree.htm Students considering careers in engineering technology should read the information on types of jobs available and salary ranges.
