Transfer Student Opportunities
The unique 2+2 nature of our BS Engineering Technology degree makes our program a good fit for the incoming transfer student. For a student with a previously earned qualifying AAS Degree track, our BS Engineering Technology degree can be completed in two years or at your own pace. The major courses are offered online and at the Kent State Regional Campus tuition rate; the resulting degree is fully ABET Accredited.
For example:
-
For student with a previously earned Mechanical Engineering Technology, Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology, or Alternative Energy Engineering Technology (AAS) degrees it is possible to complete a BS in Engineering Technology with a concentration in Mechanical/Systems, Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology, or Green and Alternative Energy Technology, respectively.
-
For student with any other previously earned engineering technology (AAS) degree or two years in a qualifying engineering technology program degree it is possible to complete a BS in Engineering Technology with a concentration in Integrated Engineering Technology.
Professional Engineer
Professional Engineer (PE) license is licensed by a state board of registration to practice engineering. The PE license is the engineering profession's highest standard of competence, a symbol of achievement and assurance of quality. Since our program is ABET accredited, graduates from our bachelor level engineering technology degree programs are eligible to become registered professional engineers (P.E.) in the State of Ohio by a process of two examinations (the FE and PE exams) and documentation of engineering work experience (typically 7 years).
Accreditation
Consistent with ABET’s Engineering Accreditation Commission guidelines, the following is a list of Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) attained by our graduates:
- Apply engineering technology knowledge and design skills to solve technical problems within the specialized field of Engineering Technology.
- Utilize effective communication, team and project management skills to work productively and contribute to their professions.
- Value personal attitudes that help one become a contributing member to society, including: initiative, responsibility, a commitment to professional ethics, and the desire to continue to learn and grow professionally.
The Engineering Technology program has an established set of outcomes for each of its programs that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time they graduate.
Graduates of the Engineering Technology program will be able to:
- Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to a various areas of the engineering technology fields.
