The College of Engineering also supports a Residents Engaged in Academic Living Community
that brings together engineering majors who live on campus to enhance academic and
social experiences.
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.
In the Construction Engineering Technology program, you’ll begin taking major courses
during the first semester of your freshman year.
What Can You Do With Combined Construction and Engineering Technology Degrees?
Engineering technologists work side-by-side with engineering specialists and scientists in design, research and development, quality control, product development and manufacturing.
You will gain the practical skills needed to work in the field with a Construction Engineering Technology degree from UNT. Graduates of our program are highly sought after in nearly every industry sector. Many stay at UNT to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees in technical fields, business and law.
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.
