Work as part of a team with engineers and engineering technicians on a variety of projects.
Work focuses on activities related to product improvement, manufacturing, and construction.
Academic Requirements
Typically requires a bachelor’s degree in engineering technology, rather than in engineering. Obtaining a higher degree can make you eligible for careers with greater responsibility and higher salaries in this pathway, if you do not already have the U.S. equivalent of a higher degree. Your existing education might give you advanced standing or transfer credit toward a higher degree, reducing the time it would take you to graduate. Note: you CANNOT become licensed as a Professional Engineer (PE) with a degree in engineering technology.
