The MS in Engineering Technology is offered through two concentrations: 1) Engineering Technology and 2) Entrepreneurial Leadership. For each concentration, there are five specific student learning outcomes (SLOs) as outlined below. 1. Communicate effectively in technical writing, oral presentation and graphic design to meet the standards of APA and other standard technical writing styles. 2. Collaborate effectively as a team member and/or a leader to solve class-based case

Other transfer track features includearticulation agreements with the two-year colleges, tightly coordinated curricula, and sustained,close interaction between the faculties of the two- and four-year institutions.The primary attribute underlying this innovative transfer track is the utilization of bridge coursesin both the AAS-EET program and the BSEE transfer program.

To address these evolving demands, this initiative focuses on unitingfaculty around shared pedagogical goals and enhancing the student learning experience through acohesive “design spine” [2,3]. At the heart of this effort is the recognition that engineeringproblems rarely have singular solutions, requiring a balance between technical rigor and human-centered approaches.
