Engineering Technology

 

 

Engineering Technology at NMU

Programs offered by the Engineering Technology Department prepare students for careers in fields such as electronics engineering technology, mechanical engineering technology, industrial technology, industrial technology education, manufacturing, computer-aided design, architectural technology, electromechanical technology and computer numerical control. These programs have a foundation in mathematics, physical science, computer science, along with an in-depth technical focus.

 

Bachelor Degree Programs

Electronics Engineering Technology

The electronics engineering technology bachelor's degree program provides graduates with the necessary preparation for positions in industry as an engineering technologist. tudents choose a concentration in either digital systems or electromechanical technology. Graduates from this program are employed as field service engineers, application engineers, software engineers and technicians.

 

Industrial Technology

The industrial technology bachelor's degree program provides graduates with the skills to hold supervisory and technical positions in industry. Graduates with this degree are hired as quality control technicians, production supervisors and managers. A minor is an important element of this baccalaureate degree program. Students are strongly urged to meet with their advisor to select a minor that will support their career goals.

 

Mechanical Engineering Technology

The mechanical engineering program provides graduates with a solid foundation in science, mathematics, and engineering principles. Students select a concentration in either mechanical design or manufacturing. Graduates are employed as designers, manufacturing engineers and related positions.

 

Secondary Education Industrial Technology

Graduates in industrial technology education are prepared to teach technology subjects in the secondary schools of Michigan. Passing the state certification exam will lead to certification as an industrial technology teacher.

 

Technology and Applied Sciences

The technology and applied sciences program provides graduates a baccalaureate degree with a foundation in the physical sciences and mathematics while retaining a flexible technical focus.

 

Associate Degree Programs

The department offers associate degrees in architectural technology, computer-aided design, electromechanical technology, electronics and manufacturing. These programs are designed for students who are seeking quick entry into the workforce. In most instances, courses completed toward an associate degree are applicable to a baccalaureate degree.

 

Certificate Program

The department also offers a one-year certificate program in computer numerical control. Graduates from this focused program are employed by manufacturers as CNC technicians.

 

Department/Program Policies

Students must have a minimum grade of "C" and a grade point average of 2.25 for all major courses and minor programs. Students majoring in industrial technology education must maintain a grade point average of 2.70 or greater with no grade below a "C" in the professional education sequence, the major and/or minor(s) and required cognates combined.
