Overview
The Department of Engineering Technology seeks to meet the engineering technology
needs of the State of Louisiana and the nation by producing graduates who possess
the skills and knowledge necessary to be productive engineering technologists. The
department provides the basic education necessary for careers in engineering technology
and related fields.
The department offers concentrations in electronics engineering technology, and drafting
and design engineering technology leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering
Technology. Both programs are accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation
Commission (ETAC) of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012.
(www.abet.org). A construction engineering technology concentration is also offered in the department.
Engineering Technology majors must complete seventy-eight hours of General Education
and Engineering Technology core courses, and forty-two hours in their major concentration.
Engineering technology students may participate in Cooperative Education Program which
involves alternate periods of work and university study. Students participating in
the program receive credit for the off-campus work experiences by registering at the
university and receive pay for their work from the industrial firms. Participation
in the Cooperative Education Program is on a voluntary basis. The program is available
to all engineering technology students who have completed two years of academic study
with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
Construction Engineering Technology (CET) students receive instruction in science, mathematics, architectural and structural
design, estimating, surveying, construction materials and techniques, with emphasis
on practical application and management. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates
for management positions such as project/construction managers, estimators, etc.,
or to act as general contractors in their own firms. Only grades of “C” or higher
are acceptable in major and supporting courses.
Drafting and Design Engineering Technology (DDET) students are trained in science, mathematics, design and engineering principles. Students
design, analyze and develop models using the latest computer-aided design software
and 3-D equipment. Students in Drafting and Design Engineering Technology concentration
must complete thirty three hours of required technical courses and nine hours of technical
electives. Only grades of “C” or higher are acceptable in major and supporting courses.
The concentration in Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) curriculum is designed to provide students with the competencies necessary for either
graduate study or professional careers in the electrical/electronics industry. The
emphases in this area are placed on theoretical concepts, analysis and design techniques,
systems applications and practical hands-on experiences. Required coursework includes
electrical circuit fundamentals, electronic materials and devices, instrumentation,
microprocessors, automatic control systems, and communication systems. Students in
Electronics Engineering Technology concentration must complete thirty-two hours of
required technical courses and ten hours of technical electives. Only grades of “C”
or higher are acceptable in major and supporting courses. Only grades of “C” or higher
are acceptable in major and supporting courses.
