Engineering Technology

Engineering technology involves the hands-on application of technical expertise to engineering tasks in a wide range of industries. From building our nation’s infrastructure to making our transportation and energy systems more efficient, wherever scientists and engineers are found, so are engineering technicians and technologists. Engineering techs may assist with setting up equipment, conducting experiments and collecting data, or they may be involved in the design and development end of the process, using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) equipment or constructing prototypes.
