Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology

Focus on the practical over the theoretical with the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology聽in 51动漫's College of Engineering. Students in this undergraduate degree program focus on hands-on, real-world technology solutions, learning how to bridge the gap between design engineers and production teams. Courses explore basic differentiation and integration in calculus and applied engineering statistics.聽

Professionals in this field translate plans into functional prototypes. They use technical skills and applied engineering knowledge to build, install, repair and improve high-tech equipment and technical facilities.聽

51动漫 prepares you to apply engineering principles and technical skills to analyze and find practical solutions at the point of production. Some of your coursework will include applied strength of materials, applied material technology, applied engineering statics, applied fluid mechanics and more. You can also tailor your degree to your interests in one of several tracks.

Study Tracks

You can focus on Engineering Technology in one of the following areas of specialization.

  • Computer Technology Track

    Graduates of this track work in analog and digital design, digital communications, microprocessor hardware and software applications, and network administration. They have a strong knowledge of hardware and software and how the two interact. They also might design, install, maintain and operate computer systems, as well as perform programming and systems analysis, or be involved in robotics.聽

  • Construction Technology Track

    Construction engineering technology involves managing and converting engineering plans and specifications into finished structures. Some in this field focus on residential and other building structures, while others work on bridge, highway or underground projects. They apply their knowledge to many aspects of construction, including cost estimating, labor management, materials specification and estimating, overall planning, and phased construction plans.聽

  • General Technology Track

    Graduates use the principles and theories of science, engineering and mathematics to solve technical problems in construction, inspection, manufacturing, maintenance, research and development, and sales. This track allows students to choose from a wide variety of engineering technology electives to create a customized study plan.聽

  • Mechanical/Manufacturing Technology

    Mechanical or manufacturing engineering technology graduates work in teams to develop equipment, machines, processes and tools to make quality products at reasonable costs. It often involves electronics and electric power; engineering graphics, materials and mechanics; and hydraulics and pneumatics.聽
