Engineering Technology is a technologically advanced program at the Bachelor of Science level utilizing theoretical concepts and hands-on instruction. Program selection is from the following concentrations: Computer Engineering Technology, Electromechanical Engineering Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technology.

The Electromechanical Engineering Technology concentration is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org) under the General Criteria and the Electromechanical Engineering Technology Program Criteria. The Electromechanical Engineering Technology concentration is structured to prepare the student for positions in industry requiring the integration of electricity (for power and control) and mechanical devices (for force and motion) to perform tasks associated with manufacturing and the performance of services.

Employment opportunities exist in fields such as robotics, fluid power, industrial electricity, heating and air conditioning, and industrial automation. This concentration is in high demand from technology-based companies such as automotive and high-tech manufacturing operations.

NOTE: A grade of C or better is required on transfer credits accepted as part of a major in Engineering Technology.
