The mathematics is not as hard in engineering technology. A significant level up through calculus is required, however.
Engineering Technology
Graduates are eligible to become registered professional engineers in most states
Engineering is a field that involves the application of scientific and mathematical principles to design, develop, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes. Engineering technology, on the other hand, focuses more on the practical application of engineering principles and is often more hands-on and less theoretical.
There are many branches of engineering, including civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, aerospace, biomedical, environmental, and computer engineering, among others. Each branch focuses on different areas of study and applications.
Some important skills for a career in engineering include problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, communication, teamwork, and technical knowledge. It is also important to have a strong foundation in math, science, and computer skills.
Ethics play a crucial role in engineering as engineers are responsible for designing and creating products and systems that impact people's lives and the environment. Engineers must consider ethical principles and values, such as safety, sustainability, and social responsibility, in their work.
Engineering has a wide range of real-world applications, including designing and building bridges, roads, and buildings, developing new technologies and devices, creating sustainable energy solutions, improving transportation systems, and many more. Engineers play a critical role in solving problems and making advancements to improve our daily lives.
