Electronics Engineering Technology
 
All engineering technology curricula produce graduates who are called engineering technologists. Engineering technologists work very closely with other members of the engineering team consisting of scientists, engineers, technicians, and craftsmen. The technologist typically organizes the manpower, materials and equipment to design, construct, operate, maintain and manage technical engineering project.
  

Positions taken by engineering technologists arc in areas such as manufacturing, sales, engineering, writing, field service, and quality control. Position titles are determined by employing organizations and vary considerably from company to company.

Mechanical Engineering Technology
 
All students anticipating enrollment as majors in the Engineering Technology Programs should have an SAT Math score of at least 400 or three years of high school mathematics with GPA of 2.0, and at least two years of physical science, preferably physics and chemistry.
