![]() Most ET classes will have labs associated with them in which the students apply the concepts learned in class to an actual application. The primary academic difference is that ET classes are typically more “hands-on” and more application focused than engineering classes. Some universities offer both engineering and engineering technology (ET) degrees, and some universities offer either only engineering, or only ET. Each of these perspectives is expanded upon below. I look at it from 4 different perspectives 1) Academically, how the classes and curriculum differ between the two types of programs, 2) Employment opportunities and types of work for each degree, 3) Registration as a Professional Engineer, and 4) What types of individuals are best suited for each type of program. One topic I typically spend a lot of time on during these visits is the difference between engineering and engineering technology. I spend quite a bit of time talking with prospective students and their families about engineering technology and the programs available here at NMU during their campus visit (see for more information about the campus visit program). What is the difference between engineering and engineering technology?
