Engineering students learn the principles and theories to plan, design, and create new products, and are more likely to apply analytical skills to achieve solutions to engineering tasks. Engineering technology students learn technology methods and practices and become experts who apply technology to achieve solutions to engineering tasks. Both programs combine theory and practice. However, the engineering programs are heavier on the side of theory while the technology programs emphasize the practical side. Top For Further Information Let us hear from you.
