Engineering Technology (B.S.)
The engineering technology major combines an applied, hands-on curriculum with a more traditional theoretical and design orientation. The program builds technical and engineering competencies on a strong foundation of mathematics and science.
Options:
Electrical and Control Option
The electrical and control option curriculum provides students theory and laboratory practice in areas of digital and electronic systems, industrial instrumentation, electromechanical/mechanical/optical sensors, actuation systems, AC and DC drives, electrical machines and control, power electronics, energy management, microprocessors/embedded controls, automatic process control systems, and industrial automation and robotics. In preparation for students to become engineering technologists, they are educated in the advanced techniques of system design, installation, and the application of electrical and controls, using innovative state-of-the-art technologies reinforced throughout the program by intergrated laboratory experiences.
Mechanical and Manufacturing Systems Option
The mechanical and manufacturing systems option curriculum emphasizes building strong profeciencies in design, development, application and management of manufacturing, processes and systems. A broad core of technical course work is presented in detail, from conventional turning and machining operations to the latest applications and principles of computer-aided design using CAD/CAM, advanced manufacturing processes, robotics, intergrated automation systems, materials flow and handling systems, quality control and improvement systems, along with advanced tecniques in production, planning and control in manufacturing. The introduction and application of manufacturing trends and innovations are reinforced throughout the program by integrated laboratory experiences.
