How Do Companies View Engineering Technology Degrees?

New postby Dierdre » 26 Oct 2012, 14:06

I am currently going to penn state and pursuing an electrical engineering technology degree. i can switch to straight electrical engineering but i've heard that some companies view them as almost the same.

You heard this from the engineering technology people, not the companies. I used to tell people the same thing when I taught engineering technology, but it's not true. If you think you can do the work, switch to real electrical engineering. It costs the same and takes the same amount of time, but you learn more--far, far more.

It wasn't supposed to work this way, but engineering technology turned into a program for people who couldn't do real engineering work. It's not the same, and it's not viewed the same. Really.

I'm a MET grad (2003) from Montana State University. I don't know of any online MET degree that's ABET accredited.

Not sure if ABET accredits 2 year programs? I'd go for a 4 year program in ME if you can handle it. You'll go a lot further with your degree then.

CS degree requires higher math courses than the IT curriculum. If you don't want to do calculus and differential equations, then head to the IT course offerings.

CS usually has a math minor requirement whereas the MIS/CIS/IT type majors head more to the business courses.

Jobs available in both arenas in many countries.

Make sure you find an accredited ultrasound program. If you go to a program which is not accredited (on line courses), you cannot take your license exams until you have worked as a sonographer for one full year. You will have a hard time finding a job as a sonographer, if you do not have an ultrasound license. These programs put you between a rock and a hard place.

Here is a list of accredited programs in Michigan. You can go to the site below and search "Michigan" and "diagnostic medical sonographer." There are links with additional information on each school.

Delta College - University Center , MI
Henry Ford Hospital - Detroit , MI
Jackson Community College - Jackson , MI
Lansing Community College - Lansing , MI
Oakland Community College-Southfield - Southfield , MI

I don't know specifically, but generally you can find the programs in county colleges or junior colleges. Before you choose one, though, you should read the online guide to choosing a course of study onthe website below. The info is all free and it's not affiliated with any school.

The gyros and engines can only stabilize so much. Anything after a certain point is beyond the capabilities of the ship without turning the whole lower half of the ship into ballast and gyros to compensate. Then of course they would lose "X" amount of customers per cruise and that they wont do.
It takes a lot to move a ship, but mother nature has her own plans.

Most colleges have a degree for technology teachers, just like any other subject. As for pay, teachers are traditionally poorly paid and Oklahoma salaries are much lower than in some neighboring states such as Kansas. For more specific details on the requirments check with your local college or university.
