Objectives

The CET Programs offer a broad preparation for applied engineering practice.  Graduates will demonstrate excellence by integrating technical, societal, and business knowledge through their professional and educational experiences.

Emphasis is placed on understanding how engineering principles are applied in practice towards many of the following subject areas:

  • Software Development
  • Computer Systems Administration
  • Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Systems
  • Digital/Embedded Systems
  • Electro-Mechanical Systems
These subject areas can provide productive employment in many industry sectors including Energy, Security, Industrial Controls, Biotechnology, Building Mechanical Contracting Services, Transportation, and Entrepreneurial Product Development.

Outcomes

  • Demonstrate the ability to design and conduct tests on prototype or developed systems and effectively communicate the results via written reports and oral presentations to the different stakeholders.    
  • Demonstrate the ability to correctly configure, install and use basic electronic hardware and operating system/application software in conventional use with existing computer systems.     
  • Learn and demonstrate proficiency with current forms of application software and operating systems that are in use in the industry of choice.     
  • Integrate, extend and extrapolate text and reference book learning, coop experiences, course and laboratory work experiences in order to demonstrate potential solutions to “real world” engineering problems.     
  • Demonstrate the ability to work as an effective member of a multi-disciplinary team while committing to the quality of results and timeliness of project execution.     
  • Recognize and respect the diverse but competent abilities, cultural and personal differences of team members and clients and organizations during the implementation of an ethical solution to an engineering technology problem.
