The Engineering Technology Department offers two degree programs and seven concentrations as follows:

  • Bachelor of Science in Applied Science & Technology (120 semester hours) with concentrations in Construction Management, Technology/Engineering Education 5-12 Licensure, Technology/Engineering Education Industry Training
  • Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (120 semester hours) with concentrations in Architecture, Electronics Engineering Technology, Energy Management Engineering Technology, and Manufacturing Engineering Technology.

Engineering Technology Program (120 cr hrs)

The Engineering Technology Program focuses on the hands-on implementation of engineering principles supported by a knowledge of mathematics and science.  Students apply their learned competencies to design products, processes, and systems.  The program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology (120 credit hours) with concentrations of study in Architecture, Electronics Engineering Technology, Energy Management Engineering Technology, and Manufacturing Engineering Technology.

Engineering Technology Program Objectives

Our mission is to develop individuals who are innovative in problem solving, understand the inherent value of design, have high ethical standards, are skilled in communication, are cognizant of their responsibility for a sustainable future, and are responsive to change.

Engineering Technology Program Student Learning Outcomes

Graduates of the program will have the following:

(1) an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;

(2) an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;

(3) an ability to 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) an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and

(5) an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

Electronics Engineering Technology Concentration


The   Electronics   Engineering   Technology   concentration   prepares   students   for   positions   in   the   challenging  field  of  electronics  by  developing  the  theoretical  and  practical skills  required  for  this  discipline. Electronic circuits are  the  building  blocks  of  the  technology  revolution.  Professionals  who  can  design, test,  program  and  troubleshoot electrical  circuitry  are  a  key  resource  for  today’s  tech-dependent  businesses. With  an  emphasis  on  experiential  learning  in  all  of  our  concentrations,  the  Electronics  Engineering Technology  concentration features  a  hands-on  approach  that  offers  real experiences with both software and hardware. Career skills are acquired through a planned sequence of  courses  involving  classroom  work  with  hands-on  experience  utilizing  the  most  modern  design, testing and measuring equipment. These skills are augmented with an understanding of project management and technical writing and literacy.
