Hey guys, I'm currently a junior and really interested in engineering technology. Can anyone recommend some good schools with strong engineering technology programs? I want to start building a list for next year's applications. Thanks!
Sure! Engineering technology is a great field to study, and there are several schools known for their strong programs in this discipline. Here's a list of schools to consider (not an exhaustive list):
1. Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) — RIT has a well-regarded engineering technology program and offers a variety of degrees within the discipline, including electrical engineering technology, mechanical engineering technology, and computer engineering technology.
2. Purdue University (West Lafayette) — Purdue's Polytechnic Institute is known for its engineering technology programs, which include areas such as manufacturing engineering technology, construction engineering technology, and robotics engineering technology, among others.
3. California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly SLO) — Cal Poly SLO is known for its hands-on, project-based approach to engineering technology, offering programs such as industrial technology and packaging.
4. Oregon Institute of Technology — Oregon Tech offers degrees like electronics engineering technology, software engineering technology, and renewable energy engineering.
5. Pennsylvania College of Technology — Affiliated with Penn State University, Penn College offers programs in areas like manufacturing engineering technology, electronics and computer engineering technology, and building science and sustainable design.
6. Missouri University of Science and Technology — Featuring engineering technology programs such as civil engineering technology, mechanical engineering technology, and environmental engineering technology.
As you research these schools, look into the specific engineering technology programs they offer and consider factors like location, size, and campus culture to determine if they'd be a good fit for you. Remember to visit the schools' websites and use resources like CollegeVine to gather more information about each institution. Good luck with your college search!
