Engineering Technology Master's Highlights
Research in the department is led primarily by short- to medium-term industry needs.
It entails applying advanced science, engineering and mathematics to create an implementable
solution to an industry-relevant problem using technology. Our laboratories are well-equipped
to provide the utmost in learning environments. Information about recent graduate
student research projects is available at the engineering website.
The Department of Engineering is located in Discovery Park, a 300-acre research facility
that combines state-of-the-art labs, equipment, offices and classrooms to maximize
the potential for creativity, collaboration and technology innovation.
The College of Engineering, in partnership with the Learning Center, also offers a
peer tutoring program for personal assistance with coursework.
Full-time students may be able to complete the degree plan in three semesters.
What Can You Do With A Degree in Engineering Technology?
Graduates of the Master of Science in Engineering Technology (MSET) program find rewarding careers as design engineers, mechanical engineers, quality assurance engineers, manufacturing engineers, and product managers. In addition, graduates of the MSET program may also consider a career as an entrepreneur, establishing new companies within the service-providing industries or within product design and development.
