Department Overview
The Department of Engineering Technologies, Safety, and Construction offers BS and BAS degree programs in various technologies.
Accrediting Information
The Construction Management program is fully accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE).
The B.S. in Electronics Engineering Technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org/.
The B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org/.
Graduate Information
Some programs have specific admission requirements and admission deadlines. Specific information for each program can be found on the program Web site.
Students should seek advising from their program advisor prior to registration each quarter.
Courses with an additional fee are identified in the special course fee section of the student handbook published by the Office of the Registrar.
Program Objectives and Description
The Department of Engineering Technologies, Safety, and Construction (ETSC) offers a Master of Science degree in engineering technology (MSET). The program is designed to prepare persons holding a Bachelor of Science degrees in the engineering technologies (ET), industrial technologies (IT), and similar or related degrees for career advancement. The MSET core curriculum is designed to teach students how to address technological challenges such as improving existing products, services, and work processes, and developing new ones. The context for instruction takes into account contemporary challenges in business and industry, such as innovating when technology is rapidly changing, adapting to the global economy, and protecting the environment. Students select elective courses in order to build upon their current technical capabilities or to develop knowledge and skills in a new area that complements their career objectives.
Admission Requirements
Incoming students are expected to meet all of the requirements of the graduate school, have a solid background in science and mathematics, and show evidence of scholarship. This requires that the candidate have a bachelor’s degree from a recognized institution and have completed a course in pre-calculus (or its equivalent) and at least one college-level, laboratory-based science course. Any candidate who does not meet these requirements may be admitted to the program on a conditional basis, after which the student must complete the requirements before being fully admitted to the program. If English is a secondary language, students must score 550 or more on the TOEFL examination. Transfer students will be considered using the same criteria, with consideration for equivalent graduate coursework completed elsewhere.
Course Offerings
