A Message from the Director

Frank DerbyWelcome to the Engineering Technology Division of the College of Engineering website. This Division provides unique opportunities for graduates and working professionals with associate degrees in Engineering Technology to enhance their qualifications and careers by earning a baccalaureate in Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or Surveying Engineering Technology. The objective is to expand their knowledge and develop their skills in the evolving technologies in the engineering industries by applying modern technology tools to solving real-world problems in their respective disciplines.

Through agreements with local community colleges and industry, a seamless transition process has been developed for students who earn their associate degrees to continue and pursue a baccalaureate degree in the Division. I encourage you to explore our pages to find the distinction pathways between Engineering and Engineering Technology careers, the curricula of the programs, and how to enroll in an Engineering Technology program.
