What is your highest goal in education?
Engineering Technology
Engineering Technology
Engineering Technologists focus on direct application of established engineering principles and processes. Math, the physical sciences, and underlying engineering theory receive coverage in an applied fashion. These careers typically focus of hardware and processes.
Engineering Science
Engineering Science
Engineers apply knowledge of math and the physical sciences to the efficient design and construction of usable devices, structures and processes. Engineers require strong backgrounds in the physical science and math, through high levels of calculus.
