The program expands the knowledge of students into areas of established and emerging engineering technologies. The degree prepares students to enter into positions requiring responsibilities in managerial, leadership, engineering, research, and teaching positions. Graduates work in a variety of sectors including business and industry, nonprofit, government, and academia

  • M.S. in Engineering Technology (On Campus)
  • M.S. in Engineering Technology (Online)
  • Ph.D. In Technology with a focus in Engineering Technology

Combined Degree Programs

  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering Technology / M.S. in Engineering Technology
  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology / M.S. in Engineering Technology

Research Interest Areas:

Faculty within the School of Engineering Technology (SoET) have significant business and industrial experience. The SoET has had faculty involved with the creation of start-up companies within the Purdue Research Park. The on-campus master’s program requires nine three-credit courses plus a nine-credit thesis if working towards making a research impact. At least three core courses are required of all students. The remaining courses are chosen by the student working with their major professor/advisor and with the approval of the student’s graduate faculty committee tailored to their research and/or professional ambitions.

Faculty in the School of Engineering Technology have interests for example in the, Metrology, Die Casting, Mechatronics, Bio-fuels, Manufacturing, Robotics, Facilities and Energy Management, Non-destructive testing, Direct Part Marking, Machine Vision, Healthcare, Robotics, Electric Hybrid Vehicles, Analog Circuits and Electronics, Acoustics, and Project Management.

Financial Support:

Teaching assistantships (TA’s) are available to qualified students entering the School of Engineering Technology. The Graduate School offers fellowships for entering students. Research assistantships (RA’s) are available for advanced, qualified students working directly with SoET faculty.
