Engineering technology
An engineering technologist, is a specialist
devoted to the development and implementation of existing technology
within a field of engineering. Engineering technology education is more
applied than the more theoretical science based engineering degree
education. Technologists often work with engineers in a wide variety of
projects by applying basic engineering principles and technical skills.
It is not unusual for Engineering Technologists to assume senior
management positions in industry or to become entrepreneurs. The work of
technologists is usually focused on the portion of the technological
spectrum closest to product improvement, manufacturing, construction,
and engineering operational functions. Engineering technology deals with
the same topics as engineering, but is more applied knowledge rather
than a purely theoretical knowledge. The mathematics and basic sciences
as well as the technical courses in technology programs are taught with
more applications and less theory than the related engineering courses.
Engineering courses also typically require a higher level of knowledge
of mathematics, natural and engineering sciences and prepare a student
to continue studies and perform research at the graduate levels.
Engineering technology courses generally have labs associated with the
courses that require applied or "hands-on" applications of the topics
being studied.
nice!
