What’s the Difference Between General Engineering Technology and Concentrations?

The general Engineering Technology degree offers a broad foundation in design, production, and systems management. This is ideal for students who want flexibility across industries. Those seeking a specialized path can choose a concentration in Architectural Design, Electronics, Manufacturing, Biomedical, or Environmental, Health, and Safety Management, each tailored to a specific sector of engineering and technology.

How Does Engineering Technology Differ from Engineering?

While traditional engineering programs focus on advanced theory and design, Engineering Technology emphasizes application and implementation. Students gain hands-on experience with real equipment, manufacturing tools, and management systems, preparing them for careers in operations, quality control, and applied engineering roles that connect innovation with practical execution.
