Bachelor of Science in Design Engineering Technology (122 hrs.)
The design engineering technology curriculum emphasizes many of the underlying principles of component design and the skills required to communicate with other engineers, scientists, and production personnel. Elective course offerings within the academic programs provide the student with the opportunity to minor in areas such as plastics engineering, business, management, marketing, and leadership.
A strong emphasis is placed on the application of skills needed in the modern engineering department. The program provides opportunities to learn the skills and knowledge needed to advance in industry into the upper levels of supervision. Knowledge of computers, management, computer FEA analysis, solid modeling and applied engineering design, and the application of engineering specifications are integrated in this program. This program is approved, strongly supported, and guided by and advisory board of engineers from various industries.
