Engineering Technology, BS - Applied Systems Technology Concentration


Total number of hours for the program: 125.

The Engineering Technology (Applied Systems Technology) BS program is distinguished by its focus on applying theoretical principles to solve practical problems. Unlike traditional engineering programs, Engineering Technology students have more applied hands-on coursework based on current technologies. Students in this program learn about many topics related to product design and manufacturing. Topics include robotics and automation, materials, manufacturing processes, computer-aided design (CAD), quality control, and management.

Liberal Studies Hours (42 hours)


Liberal Studies Program Requirements  

NOTE:


Three hours for each of the following courses required in the major also meet Liberal Studies requirements: ENGR 199, MATH 153, CHEM 139, and PHYS 230. If these courses are not taken to meet Liberal Studies requirements, they will still need to be completed for the BS Engineering degree.

Major Requirements


The Engineering Technology (Applied Systems Technology) major requires 95 credits, 12 of which also meet the Liberal Studies requirements (ENGR 199, MATH 153, CHEM 139, and PHYS 130).

A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.30 in all major courses is required to earn the Engineering Technology (Applied Systems Technology) degree.

Continuing Student Requirements

To continue in the Engineering Technology (Applied Systems Technology) major, students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.30 in courses required by the major. Students may be removed from the Engineering Technology (Applied Systems Technology) major and placed in Engineering Intended if they earn more than two of the following grades in the major in an academic year: U, W, and C- or lower. For more details, contact the School of Engineering + Technology.

Students cannot remain in the Engineering Intended major after completing more than 45 credit hours.

Admission

The requirement for admission into the Electrical Engineering major for all students is placement into Calculus I (MATH 146) or above. Students accepted to the university but not eligible for MATH 146 may be placed in Engineering Intended. Placement in the Engineering Intended major does not guarantee admission into the Engineering Technology program.

Technical Electives (6 hours)


Students must select two of the pre-approved technical electives listed below:

Additional Requirements


The mathematics, sciences, and first-year seminar courses that are required in the major may be used to satisfy Liberal Studies categories C2, C5, and FYS.
