Engineering
Technology (General)
Most
engineering technologists specialize in certain areas, learning skills
and working in the same disciplines as engineers. However, there are a
few general engineering technology programs that are accredited in the
United States. Because this is a general category, graduates may
work in a variety of working environments exploring a range of projects
and materials.
 Preparation
Those
interested in a career in engineering technology should consider
reviewing engineering technology programs that are accredited by ABET,
Inc. However, there are many ET programs not yet accredited by ABET, so
check with your local community college or university for more
information. If you choose to attend a program that is not ABET
accredited, you should be sure that the university is
regionally accredited.
