The Department of Engineering Technology offers the Master of Science degree in Engineering Technology with concentrations in Engineering Technology as well as Occupational Health and Safety and thesis and non-thesis options. The department also offers courses in the Master of Science in Professional Science concentration in Engineering Management.
Under the Engineering Technology concentration, the degree requires the student to select courses, as approved by the graduate advisor, that provide the student with a technical area of specialty or a minor in another department. Currently, typical technical areas include computer systems and networking, mechatronics, robotics, energy harvesting, renewable energy sources and technologies, instrumentation and control, analog and digital electronics, automation, machine design, manufacturing, quality control, and optimization. Other technical areas or a minor can be designed to meet the student’s individual needs if approved by the graduate advisor.
Please see undergraduate catalog for information regarding undergraduate programs.
