The Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution Department is a unique blend of engineering and business knowledge, methods and research.

Engineering Technology combines scientific and engineering knowledge and methods to craft engineering design skills for a production or manufacturing environment. Engineering Technologists also find challenging careers in the sales, installation and servicing of highly specialized technological equipment. This discipline consists of four distinct undergraduate programs, Electronics, Engineering Design Graphics, Manufacturing & Mechanical, and Telecommunications.

Industrial Distribution applies mathematics, science, engineering technology, business, data processing, communications and total quality management to the wholesaling and distribution of technological products. As an industrial distribution specialist, you may work directly for electronic systems manufacturers, petrochemical corporations, materials processors, large construction contractors, large industrial product consumers or the wholesale distributors that service these industries. Industrial Distribution consists of an undergraduate program, Industrial Distribution, and a graduate program, the Master's of Industrial Distribution.
