BSc in Engineering Technology in Flagstaff United States | Northern Arizona University

Engineering Technology focuses on implementing engineering concepts to solve practical challenges. It distinguishes itself through the extent of mathematics used and a stronger focus on hands-on applications rather than theoretical research. Although career paths for Engineering and Engineering Technology graduates may overlap, Engineering Technology roles are typically more application-oriented, covering areas like construction oversight, manufacturing process coordination, field engineering, technical sales, product support, testing, and quality assurance.

The Engineering Technology Program equips students with computational engineering tools, design methodologies, ethical standards, quality systems, and specialized coursework in general engineering and semiconductor production. At NAU, students conclude their studies with a Capstone project, collaborating with industry partners to tackle real-world challenges, gaining job-ready skills and professional connections.

NAU's Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) offers adaptable pathways, including: (1) a 90-30 transfer option for Pima Community College graduates with an Associate of Applied Science in specific Industry, Manufacturing & Construction fields, (2) a two-year completion track for students with substantial community college technical credits, and (3) a traditional four-year program for those pursuing their degree entirely at NAU.
