ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

The Programs in Engineering Technology lead to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology degree in the following fields of study:

Civil and Construction Engineering Technology
Environmental Engineering Technology
Engineering Technology

All of the engineering technology programs are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET). These programs lead to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (B.S.E.T.) degree.

The General Engineering Technology Program is offered at Main Campus with some courses available at the Ambler Campus.

Students enrolled in the four-year Engineering Technology Programs are educated for careers as engineering technologists--specialists in the application of science for useful purposes. The engineering technologist works in close support of engineers translating conceptual ideas into functioning systems and providing supervisory direction for the implementation of these ideas by the technicians and craftsmen.

Civil and Construction Engineering Technology

Program Goals and Objectives

The baccalaureate curriculum in Civil and Construction Engineering Technology prepares a student for a practitioner's role in construction management or structural design.

Graduates are qualified for jobs as structural designers and detailers, construction field supervisors, estimators, expediters, construction cost analysts, schedulers,
plan examiners for government agencies that control construction, and liaison personnel in plant engineering departments of large manufacturing organizations.
Day and evening courses are available, however, most technical courses are offered in the evening only. While a minimum of four years are generally
associated with the day program, a completed evening program may extend over eight to twelve years.

Program Objectives

The baccalaureate curriculum in Environmental Engineering Technology prepares the student for the practical application of technology to waste management and
the control of pollution of the air, water, land and other aspects of the environment. The program is based on the elements of science and engineering technology appropriate to an understanding of the processes of environmental quality degradation and to the design of equipment systems for environmental protection. Through careful selection of electives, the student may emphasize the engineering or science aspects of the field.

Graduates are qualified to work in the field or office positions in local, state or federal regulatory agencies, in environmental control groups in industry, and as
project supervisors with consulting companies. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) (* see address below)

Program Objectives

This program is offered on the Main Campus with some courses available at Temple University Ambler. Students may complete all required course work at night. The curriculum in Engineering Technology provides a broad base of technological skills extending across the traditional fields of engineering technology with a concentration designed by the student and faculty advisor to meet personal and career objectives. A plan of study can be developed with concentrations such as construction, environmental, computer, manufacturing, mechatronics, or energy. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET).
