Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology
Program Competencies
Upon successful completion, the Engineering Technology graduates are expected to:
- Apply scientific concepts to the solution of technological problems.
- Apply theories, concepts, and principles of related disciplines to develop the communication skills required for engineering technologists.
- Perform as a technical professional in business, industry, education and government.
- Apply concepts and skills developed in a variety of technical and professional disciplines including computer applications, materials properties, production processes, quality control, industrial design and safety.
- Plan, facilitate, and integrate technology and problem solving techniques in the economic enterprise.
- Engage in applied technical research in order to add to the knowledge of the discipline and to solve problems which surface in the workplace.
Assessment Procedures
With respect to the overall competencies of the program, the IET Department will use senior exit examinations, senior capstone projects, surveys of graduating seniors, surveys of program alumni, and surveys of employers of Engineering Technology graduates. These various measures are meant to assess the degree to which education and training in the program serves the needs of our students, as well as the needs of employers.
Bachelor of Science - Engineering Technology
The program will provide students with the knowledge and understanding of more rigorous and analytical methods for technical problem solving in an industrial setting. The development of such competencies is essential to the preparation of skilled technical professionals who can undertake tasks requiring greater depth and understanding of advanced technology. The Engineering Technology program aims to prepare a group of graduates who will fill advanced engineering technology positions in business and industry. The main objectives of the program are: (1) to develop students with enhanced technological skills; and, (2) to place these students in business, industry, and government as technical problem-solvers.
