Frequently asked questions

What is engineering technology?

Engineering technology focuses on the practical application of engineering principles. It involves implementing, testing, and maintaining existing technologies and developing new solutions for processes and systems. In an engineering technology program, you’ll take classes to learn both the concepts behind engineering and the physical use of those techniques.

Is engineering technology a good degree?

Yes, an engineering technology degree can be an excellent choice if you want to advance your career in automation, manufacturing, computer science, and computer networking. Here at DeVry, our Bachelor’s in Engineering Technology program prepares you with job-ready skills to help you hit the ground running in tech-driven roles.

What does an engineering technologist do?

An engineering technologist applies engineering principles to solve practical problems. They design, test, implement, and improve processes and products, working in fields such as manufacturing and quality control — for instance, refining robotics used in automotive assembly or enhancing the performance of smart home systems.

Is it worth getting an engineering technology degree?
