The mission of the ET sequence is to prepare technically-oriented managerial professionals and leaders for business, industry, government, and education by articulating and integrating student experiences and core competencies in engineering technology.
The courses in the ET sequence focus on the management of people, processes, and materials through application-oriented activities. As a result, our students are well equipped to become project managers.
Our students learn in three integrated ways. First, students learn by theory, internalizing ideas necessary to succeed in the field. Then they learn by practice, familiarizing themselves with the processes needed to complete tasks. Finally, they learn by doing, using our modern facilities to gain experience with the equipment and processes they will be dealing with in their careers.
Graduates of the engineering technology program are actively recruited for leadership roles. Initial placement positions include the following:
Salaries vary from urban, suburban and rural positions; however, the typical starting salary is between $35,000 and $45,000.
Most have found positions before graduation with 99 percent finding positions three months after graduation.
