Texas Tech University :: Engineering Technology

Welcome

The Department of Engineering Technology provides high quality, applied engineering technology programs with appeal to a broad range of students including under represented groups and the by-passed learner so that educational opportunities in engineering technology are provided to a greater cross-section of the state's population.

The engineering technologist generally works in the applied part of the engineering spectrum and is playing an increasingly important role in our technological society. Rather than preparing students to go into research, the engineering technology program prepares students for those engineering activities that emphasize applying engineering knowledge to solving practical industrial problems. The activities of the engineering technologist usually include product development, construction supervision, technical sales, component design, field service engineering, work force coordination and supervision.

The three options of the B.S. degree in Engineering Technology are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 - telephone: (410) 347-7700.
