Program Overview
Mission:
The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology prepares students for successful employment in engineering technology through high-quality instruction, applied learning, and an industry-aligned curriculum that develops technical expertise, analytical thinking, ethical practice, and lifelong learning.
Description:
The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology prepares graduates for careers in industrial operations, manufacturing, mechanical design, construction design, systems engineering, and technical management. The upper-division curriculum builds upon technical education to develop advanced engineering technology competencies through applied learning and industry-aligned coursework.
2+2 Degree Completion Pathway: Students enter the program with an associate degree or transferable lower-division coursework and complete 60 upper-division credits to earn the Bachelor of Science degree.
Educational Objectives - Within several years of graduation, graduates are expected to:
- Apply engineering technology principles, effective communication, and teamwork to the design, implementation, operation, and maintenance of technical systems.
- Use mathematical, scientific, and engineering technology concepts to analyze technical problems, develop practical solutions, and adapt to emerging technologies.
- Demonstrate ethical behavior, professionalism, and responsible engagement within their organizations and local and global communities.
- Engage in lifelong learning through continuous professional development, technical growth, leadership, quality improvement, and organizational excellence.
Outcomes:
Graduates of the program will be able to:
- Apply knowledge, techniques, skills, mathematics, science, engineering principles, and modern engineering technology tools to solve broadly defined engineering problems.
- Design systems, components, or processes that meet specified requirements for broadly defined engineering technology problems.
- Communicate effectively using written, oral, and graphical methods in technical and nontechnical environments while identifying and applying appropriate technical literature.
- Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments, and analyze and interpret data to improve systems and processes.
- Function effectively as both a member and a leader of multidisciplinary technical teams.
Admission and Degree Requirements
Admission:
- Submit a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology application.
