Degree Offered
- Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (B.S.E.T.)
Nature of the Program
The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (B.S.E.T.) is a plus-two program that builds on and complements associate degrees earned in a variety of engineering technology areas. The program is unique in its nature and overall design since it provides an opportunity to choose a plan to study toward a baccalaureate degree which best meets the student’s needs. Entrance requirements to this program include an associate of science degree in an engineering technology program with appropriate course work, including physical sciences and mathematics (through analytic geometry with calculus).
As students enter the program, an evaluation of their transcript will be made. This evaluation determines if additional lower division courses will be required to meet the prerequisites of the program. Current area of emphasis is mechanical engineering technology.
The student, with the assistance and approval of the advisor and Chair of the Engineering Technology department, can select technical specialty elective courses for the program chosen. Selected technical specialty courses can be taken in mechanical, civil, and electrical/electronics engineering technology; as well as industrial technology, and selected engineering courses, depending on the program of study. Also, some mathematics, science, and management courses may be approved.
All students must meet the degree requirements of the institution and the General Education Foundations curriculum for graduation. A minimum of 40 semester hours of upper-division courses is required. If a computer programming course using a technical language has already been completed, a technical elective may be substituted for the C++ programming course.
Plus-Two Baccalaureate Transfer Options
Students who have completed course work or associate degree programs in engineering - oriented programs at other institutions and wish to continue their studies toward a Bachelor of Science degree may do so. Students must satisfy all General Education Foundations and program specific requirements to be eligible for the award of this degree. For more information, contact the Chair of the Engineering Technology Department.
