Do you want a great career? Do you want to do hands-on engineering, design, and prototyping? Do you want to work with computer systems, electronics, machines, or construction equipment? Do you want to make a difference for you and your community? Consider joining the ETSE family. A degree in Engineering Technology or Surveying Engineering creates great opportunities and leads to success stories . Overview Mission The Mission of the Department of Engineering Technology and Surveying Engineering is to provide students with a quality engineering technology and surveying education that links theory and application, provide rigorous, fundamental education, and gives students enhanced career opportunities. The department’s goals supporting this mission are: to provide educational and social environments that promote and facilitate student learning to have a highly respected and visible department to foster the development of the department and to graduate students who are competent and sought after by industry What is Engineering Technology? Engineering Technology focuses on practical application of science and engineering. The difference between Engineering and Engineering Technology is engineering technology focuses on application of techniques while engineering focuses on developing concepts. ETSE focuses on a combination of mathematics, computers, hands-on experience, and communication to provide an education that focuses on practical applications, career independence and responsibility.ETSE offers a variety of degree programs, minors and concentrations to choose from. With dedicated faculty and staff, students are given the professional and personal attention needed to help them live, learn and thrive in their chosen field of study. Students in the ETSE programs receive an education in the practical applications of engineering principles. Linking theory and application, our students are given the academic background and hands-on applications that give them the knowledge and experience in order to hit the ground running upon graduation. Students will have the opportunity to take ideas in an ever-changing world of engineering technology and surveying, and make them a reality. Hands-on courses, labs, and projects offer our students experience in both the academic and real world settings. To learn more, see the ETSE “About Us” Presentation , contact us. We can meet with you on the phone or set up a visit . What is Surveying Engineering? Geomatics is a rapidly developing engineering discipline that focuses on acquiring and analyzing precise spatial information. Geomatics engineers use a variety of technologies such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Global Navigation Satellite Systems, High-Definition 3D Laser scanners, High-resolution satellite images, and Geographic Information Systems. They measure terrestrial and three-dimensional positions of points on, above, and below the earth’s surface and the distance and angles between them at a high level of precision. Geomatics engineers aid in the design of infrastructure including roads, bridges and legal boundaries for ownership. They provide precise data for natural recourse managers, subdivision developers, and coastal monitoring systems.

Tapia CET Coordinator Assistant Professor Accreditation The Civil Engineering Technology, Electronics & Computer Engineering Technology, Information Engineering Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technology programs are accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of ABET, www.abet.org ABET Inc. accreditation is assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares its students. For example, an accredited engineering program must meet the quality standards set by the engineering profession. An accredited computer science program must meet the quality standards set by the computing profession. The quality standards accreditation requires are set by the ABET Inc. professions themselves. This is made possible by the collaborative efforts of many different professional and technical societies. These societies and their members work together through ABET Inc. to develop the standards, and they provide the professionals who evaluate the programs to make sure they meet those standards. Careful, considerate and thorough attention is given to our programs’ educational endeavors and the measures we take to improve our effectiveness and relevance in the modern worlds of Engineering Technology and Surveying Engineering. Accreditation is important to our constituents. Our students are ready to practice as soon as they graduate. Our local employers can count on our program graduates to meet their needs. The parents of our students can be proud of the education their sons and daughters receive and confident that their time and money were well spent. Our state licensure, certification, and registration boards know our graduates are prepared to enter the profession. The postgraduate institutions to which our students apply recognize our program for producing graduates with the skills and attributes required by the profession. Our institution supports our program and provides the resources needed to sustain it. We are proud that we are accredited. You should be too! ABET Inc. accreditation is a significant achievement. We have worked hard to ensure that our program meets the quality standards set by the profession. And, because it requires comprehensive, periodic evaluations, ABET Inc. accreditation demonstrates our commitment to the quality of our program – both now and in the future. When you choose an accredited program, you are choosing wisely. Accreditation assures that a program has met quality standards set by the profession.
