College of Engineering & Technology
Engineering Technology
The applied, hands-on engineering degree, built for people who want to build things immediately.
About this program
Engineering Technology emphasizes application over theory-first coursework: students are in the lab building, testing and troubleshooting systems from week one. It's accredited for students headed straight into industry roles rather than graduate engineering study.
What you will be able to do
- Apply engineering principles directly to design and fabrication
- Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical and fluid power systems
- Read and produce technical drawings to industry standard
- Manage a hands-on capstone build for an outside client
