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
- 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 underline 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 demonstrate ethical behavior in their field and will be involved with 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.
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 appropriate to the discipline.
- Design systems, components, or processes that meet specified requirements for broadly defined engineering technology problems appropriate to the discipline.
- 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.
