The B.S. degree program prepares students for positions as technologists in a variety of industries, such as industrial automation, power, telecommunications, and manufacturing. The plan of study provides additional coursework in computer engineering technology as well as courses in related topics that provide background information in both technical and nontechnical subjects. The technologist ordinarily is involved with various components and subsystems of an overall system designed by engineers. Some become technical supervisors. The technologist s role evolved during the 1960s and will continue to evolve in the coming decades as a technically trained organizer-doer.
Graduates are eligible for certification as engineering technologists.
