General TEchnology (AETM-GEN)
Applied Engineering & Technology Managment
Bachelor's Degree (4-year, typ)
The B.S. in Applied Engineering & Technology Management, General Technology concentration is designed to provide students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in broad-based engineering technologies. Coursework in this concentration provides background knowledge and hands-on experiences in drafting/design, electricity/electronics, material processes, and graphic communication technologies.
Students will work with their advisors to plan out their electives that will permit them to integrate the technological systems that they are interested in studying or develop their own specialty in applied engineering and technology management. All courses include laboratory experiences that enable students to work with processes, tools, equipment, and the materials needed in various technological applications. This concentration is valuable to students who may wish to pursue entrepreneurial goals or self-employment in fields that are not closely related to other majors in the AEST department. Graduates of this option typically work as process/product designers, application engineers, technical salespersons, technical trainers, technologists, or managers of technical operations.
