This was/is due to how more closely aligned the EngineeringTechnology major had been to certain students’ math/science skills or academic background andtheir interest in receiving a more hands-on approach to learning the technical side ofEngineering. However, it should be noted that a few Engineering Tech students did initiallyexpress an interest in Engineering and were allowed to take Engineering Tech pre-calculus andchemistry courses to prepare them for the Engineering
