What is the difference between engineering tech and engineering degrees. Learn about these differences and how to apply your skills from these degrees.
Read PostEngineering technology is a specialized discipline that focuses on the creation and usage of technologies and engineering, as well as applying practical engineering practices to address real world problems. Some of the concepts learned in an engineering technology degree may overlap with general engineering topic areas.
An engineering technology degree is a college-level credential that can be earned as an associate or bachelor's degree. Typically, the programs aim to help you understand how technologies are built, assembled, designed and implemented. In general, the courses in an engineering technology degree program help you learn to develop and design new technologies using engineering processes and practices.
A traditional engineering degree program is much more theoretical - mainly focused around research and development - and involves a higher level of math, whereas an engineering technology degree has a larger focus on the application of theories.
When it comes to choosing between either an associate degree or a bachelor's degree in Engineering Technology, the best choice for you will depend on your specific background and career goals. An associate degree can help you learn foundational skills in the field and gain a credential more quickly. A bachelor's degree is a higher-level credential that will typically involve a deeper understanding of the elements of engineering technology.
You can take advantage of our stackable programs to leverage any credits earned during your Associate Degree in Engineering Technology program at DeVry by applying them toward our Bachelor's Degree in Engineering Technology program2 if you choose to continue your education.
To work in the engineering technology field, it can be helpful to earn a degree in engineering technology. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, engineering technologists typically need at least an associate degree1. A bachelor's degree in engineering technology may prepare you to pursue more advanced employment opportunities in this field.
Absolutely! In fact, you can earn your Associate in Engineering Technology or Bachelor's in Engineering Technology online right here at DeVry.
