Overview: The faculty of the Department of Technology in the Allen School of Engineering and Technology will offer the Master of Science in Engineering Technology degree.  A minimum of 30 semester hours of credit is required.  The Flexible program permits the student to develop a program of study to meet individual career goals.  Potential areas of study include Manufacturing Engineering Technology and Computer Aided Design (CAD).

Degree: Masters of Science in Engineering Technology.  The component breakdown is shown below:

In the first year of study, the student creates, with faculty approval, a program of study.  The program is designed for flexibility, permitting the student to select a combination of courses in a technical area and supporting area to meet individual goals.  The program of study details the 18 semester hours of coursework focused on the technical area of interest.  Careful course selection in coordination with a faculty advisor and/or advisory committee is an essential aspect to building a focused program of study.  The supporting area (six to eight hours) may be selected outside the department upon approval from the faculty committee depending on the background of the candidate. 

All students studying for the Master of Science in Engineering Technology degree must have on file an approved program of study.  The program of study must carry the approval of the chair of the department awarding the degree, the Vice-President of Academic Affairs and the student’s graduate committee.  The student’s advisors and program committee must approve changes in the approved program of study.

Final Examination: An applied research project is required.  An oral defense of the written applied research is required.  This defense is typically done during the last semester of the study.

Research Activity: Current research interests of the faculty include:  computer-aided design (CAD), computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM), computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), decision making, energy conversion system design and analysis, energy management, simulation and modeling of industrial processes, machinability, manufacturing processes, motivation, computer numerical control (CNC), quality control, robotics and automation, supervision, weldability of metals, and welding-related metallurgy.

Courses: Courses at the 500 level are graduate credit courses.
