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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:
-
Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
-
Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
-
Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
-
Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
-
Function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
