Entrance Requirements

Required: Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2

Recommended: Physics

If students do not place into MATH 1033 College Algebra, MATH 1084 Calculus I, MATH 1323 Quantitative Reasoning, 1034 College Algebra of Functions, 1054 Precalculus, or 2124 Statistical Methods & Analysis, then MATH 1014 Algebra Concepts is a required prerequisite for completion of the major.

If students do not place into PHYS 1024 General Physics I or PHYS 1044 College Physics I, then PHYS 1014 Introductory Physics is a required prerequisite for completion of this major.

Courses that repeat or significantly overlap those taken in the student's associate degree program cannot be taken for upper-level credit. If the associate degree covered the subject matter in one of the required baccalaureate courses, a different course must be substituted and approved by the faculty adviser.

Technical Standards

It is essential that students are able to fully participate, with or without a reasonable accommodation, in engineering technology lab and test procedures. Engineering technology students should be able to:

  • Maintain ethical standards as defined by professional societies such as ASME and IEEE (non-exhaustive list)

  • Appropriately use hand and power tools.

  • Appropriately use test, analysis, and measurement equipment

  • Maintain professional integrity in the classroom and laboratory setting

  • Communicate effectively, orally and written

  • Perform experiments safely in a laboratory environment

  • Visually decipher lab equipment digital or analogue displays

  • Understand and retain information found in equipment manuals, data sheets, and lab instructions

  • Comprehend written and oral directions; act on those directions safely

  • Visually identify and select hardware components

  • Visually distinguish computer software user interface elements

  • Interpret software outputs to analyze data

  • Have sufficient dexterity to finely adjust equipment settings

  • Interpret complex data tables and graphs
