It differs from engineering in that its emphasis lies in practical applications rather theory and design.
Engineering technology stresses the industrial practices and design procedures.
Graduates usually work within an engineering team in application-oriented positions or technical services. Typical employment involves working with engineers in the design, fabrication, installation, operation and maintenance of electronic instrumentation and machinery. Graduates find positions as engineering assistants, test and maintenance technicians, field representatives and sales managers. Upon completion of the EET program, graduates may continue studies in a related bachelor's degree program at a four-year institution. Because of ECC's special joint admission agreement with NJIT, graduates of the EET program are automatically accepted as juniors.
