The Difference Between Engineering Technology & Engineering
An undergraduate engineering technology program at SUNY Canton:
- Introduces and integrates math and sciences as needed in the curricula
- Contains technical courses that occur in virtually every quarter of the program
- Has an intensive laboratory and applications focus
- Has a moderate emphasis on theory and the design process
- Appeals to the student who learns best in an experientially based (hands-on) environment
- Culminates in a senior project experience
Undergraduate Engineering Programs:
- Begin with an emphasis on calculus and calculus-based sciences
- Have engineering courses later in the curricula that build on the calculus/sciences base
- Integrate design and applications into engineering lecture and laboratory course work
- Have a stronger emphasis on theory and engineering design
- Culminate in a major senior design experience
