The Engineering Technology (ET) curriculum is a rigorous combination of chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, technology, and mathematics. Depending on the student’s interest, an ET major may choose to specialize his or her studies by concentrating in either Construction Technology & Technical Management or Applied Electronics & Controls. In both concentrations, students choose from a wide range of courses to fulfill requirements in Technical Skills, Technical Specialization, and Technical Support. All students must also complete 24 credits of general-education requirements in communications, social sciences, humanities, and English. For the student wanting to strengthen their theoretical preparation, a minor in Civil Engineering is possible with the ET major.
