Engineering Technology

Shawnee State University offers Engineering Technology degree programs. These are career-oriented, technical instruction grounded in a strong base of mathematics, natural science, and the liberal arts, all of which are integrated with our technical courses to provide our graduates with strong technical, analytical, and problem solving skills in a broad spectrum of technical areas. Our programs are instructed in building-block fashion where the student, in his or her first term as a freshman, begins the study of Engineering Technology in his or her chosen field. Our course work includes laboratory studies to provide the student with practical experience and competencies required by the technical fields in which he or she will seek employment. Our graduates have exceptional employment opportunities and career paths, and are also accepted into, and are extremely successful in, post-graduate programs in engineering, materials science, systems engineering, and computer science.

To this end, the department:

Develops curricula that create an understanding of the practical and scientific bases of selected engineering technologies and modifies curricula and teaching methods in response to technological advancement and change.
Encourages the development of sound work ethics and a spirit of cooperation and excellence.

and provides cooperative educational services:

Seeks and encourages participation from the business and industrial community.
Promotes occupational and educational opportunities for all graduates.

Engineering Technologies are designating several courses as Career eXploration (CX) courses to provide opportunities for undecided students to actively explore other majors within Engineering Technologies. All courses are instructed in the classroom/lab environment - none of the on-line courses are included in the (CX) designation. Should a student decide upon an Engineering Technology major, these courses would be applicable to his or her degree. Should the student decide upon a non-engineering technology major, these courses could count toward his or her eventual degree as elective courses. The intro-level Engineering Technology courses designated as (CX) are:

ETCA 1201 Introduction to CADD.
ETCA 1301 3-D Parametric Modeling. No pre- or co-requisite. (General Engineering Technology)
ETCO 1120 Intro to STEM Computer Programming. (Computer Engineering Technology and Digital Simulation and Gaming Engineering Technology computer programming)
ETPL 1100 Plastics Manufacturing. No pre- or co-requisite. (Plastics Engineering Technology)

Pass/No-Credit Policy

Students in the Department of Engineering Technologies are not permitted to take any course in their major course of study on a pass/no-credit basis. This includes any course that is specifically identified by course number and/or course title as a requirement for your graduation.

Entering Student English and Math Placement

Generally, entering students are expected to place into ENGL 1102 (3 hours) and MATH 1200 (3 hours) or higher. If entering student placement is below ENGL 1102, this course will be replaced with ENGL 1101 (3 hours). If entering student math placement is below MATH 1200, the student may be placed temporarily in the General Studies major while they focus on math, english, and other GEP coursework.
