Other Fields of Engineering Technology
There
are several other fields of study within the broad area of engineering
technology. These programs include facilities engineering
technology, drafting design engineering technology, plastics and polymer
engineering technology, engineering graphics technology, industrial
ceramics engineering technology,
quality and safety
engineering technology, process and piping design engineering
technology, laser and fiber optics engineering technology, and fire
protection engineering technology. While these are narrow areas of
study, they do all lead to career paths within the field. If you
are interested in more details about these areas of engineering
technology we recommend you get in touch with the department head of the
universities offering the few accredited programs available in the field
below for further details, graduation requirements, and employment
prospects.
 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.
