Engineering Technology vs. Engineering

Engineering Technology develops and implements new technology to solve technical problems, while Engineering conceptualizes and designs methods for new technology. Both roles are in high demand and crucial to advancing all aspects of engineering.

Careers & Opportunities

The Industrial Engineering Technology (IET) major prepares students to be interdisciplinary problem solvers by equipping them to interface with multiple areas of an organization including engineering, production, sales, and management. Students are well suited to careers in such fields as:

• Manufacturing
• Technical Sales
• Industrial Distribution
• Project Management
• Field Service
• Production Supervision

The classes are characterized by an emphasis on practical, application-based topics rather than theory, which helps you enter the workforce after graduation.
