GENERAL INFORMATION Technology curricula allows for a variety of exciting opportunities in the areas of Engineering Technology. The Manufacturing Engineering Technology option is currently accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org, 415 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 – Telephone: (410) 347-7700. Applied Engineering Management is currently accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE), www.atmae.org, 701 Exposition Place, Suite 206, Raleigh, NC 27615 – Telephone: 919-635-8335. Each major is capped by a research project or realistic internship experience to facilitate the transition from school to the actual job scene. Career opportunities are numerous in all technology fields and command competitive salaries. Examples of recent graduate placements are manufacturing engineering technologists, quality assurance managers, plant and production supervisors, production analysts, planners and schedulers, and estimators. Within the Department of Engineering Technology there are two student organizations which promote professional development and social activities. These include student chapters of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). The student organizations meet on a regular basis and participate in manufacturing facility tours, community out-reach, campus activities, and educational conferences. Several years after graduation, Engineering Technology graduates from the Everett Dobson School of Business and Technology will: 1. Be employed in a field where they are able to utilize their technical knowledge and skills. 2. Be able to communicate effectively and professionally in multiple ways and formats, such as oral, written and graphical. 3.
