General Engineering
Through academic advising, the Engineering Technology & Management Department provides specific engineering or engineering technology and management discipline for students who are unsure about their technical/professional career path. General Engineering courses offer an opportunity to consider many options while taking the fundamental courses required in most programs offered through the College of Engineering. Guidance is also provided for those students who are not pursuing engineering or engineering technology and management degree programs but wish to establish a fundamental understanding in a technical area.
