Engineering technology and management graduates often go to work for large international companies as well as small local companies. Common job titles include manufacturing engineer, quality engineer, automation engineer, process engineer, applications engineer, systems engineer, sales engineer, production manager, project manager, and operations manager. Due to the business focus of the major, many graduates advance in their careers to senior positions in organizational management.
Engineering Technology and Management
Bachelor of Science
Engineering Technology and Management Bachelor's Degree
The engineering technology and management major combines technical courses, a business minor, quantitative sciences, natural sciences, and general education coursework to prepare graduates for technical, management, and/or applied engineering positions in business and industry. Common starting job titles include: manufacturing engineer, quality engineer, process engineer, automation engineer, applications engineer, systems engineer, sales engineer, production manager, project manager, and operations manager. The engineering technology and management program is accredited by the Association of Technology Management and Applied Engineering.
Engineering Technology and Management Courses: Over 90% of the engineering technology and management courses include lab activities where students apply the theory they learned in the classroom to “real life” problems and projects. These activities are not simply simulations; they have real outcomes as well as consequences. This activity-based, hands-on, approach to learning provides students with technical knowledge as well as continuously improving their problem-solving skills.
A Technical Generalist: The engineering technology and management graduate is a technical generalist who is competent in assessing problems and proposing solutions to improve productivity related to product specifications, materials and processes, industrial control and information systems, and operations management.

Engineering Technology and Management (B.S.) Courses & Curriculum
View Courses & Curriculum in the Academic Catalog
Our engineering technology and management curriculum is a combination of general education per university requirements, business courses amounting to a minor in business, a technical core, and electives.
The technical core, comprising 64.5 credit hours, includes coursework in:
- Lean
- Six Sigma
- CAD and solid modeling
- Project management
- Production and operations
- Manufacturing processes
- Manufacturing information systems
- Programming, electronics
- Quality assurance
- Automation and robotics
- Control systems
- Business
Most courses in the technical core require extensive hands-on laboratory time in addition to the classroom lecture/theory time.
In addition to the core technical classes, a technical elective is required and can be chosen from courses such as technical documentation, PLC, ISO, computer numerical control, and advanced plastics processes, as well as select courses offered by other departments in the college.
The coursework is also enriched by the focus on the development of business and managerial skills. These required business courses result in a built-in minor in Business Administration for all Engineering Technology and Management students.
The department also offers two certificate programs. Our Project Management Certificate’s activity-based work will enable you to practice successful project management skills – and you’ll also gain a valuable resume credential. Through our Lean Six Sigma Certificate, you'll work individually and on teams to learn how to remove waste, streamline processes, and add value.
