Engineering technology
|
Engineering technology (ET) is a cross between engineering (which is more research-based), and technology (which is applications-based).
In some U.S. states with no ET schools, ET students and graduates are not allowed to sit for the PE Exam to become a professional engineer. However, ET grads are sought after by many high-tech businesses, because of the combination of solid engineering background and hands-on experience that ET degree programs are designed to provide.
