Introduction

UW-Stout’s Engineering Technology degree provides a broad background in industrial practices combined with an in-depth study in an engineering-related concentration. The program is designed to prepare graduates for industrial positions related to the engineering concentration area, with an appropriately broad background for later advancement into management positions. Typical entry-level positions include Design Engineer, Project Engineer, Plant Engineer, Process Engineer, Designer, Industrial Engineer, Production Scheduler and Applications Engineer. Students in the program develop knowledge and competencies in the concentration engineering area, materials and manufacturing methods, management/overview of the industrial organization, effective oral and written communication, and the application of physical science and mathematics principles to understand and solve technological and economic problems found in industry.

To complete the program successfully, students are required to achieve a 2.5 GPA in program coursework, at the time of graduation.
