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.
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
- B.S. in Robotics Engineering Technology/ M.S. in Engineering Technology
Research Interest Areas (On-campus Students):
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. A thesis-based MS degree requires 21 credit hours of coursework and minimum of (9) credit hours of thesis research (ECET/IET/MET/MFET 69800). The student’s work culminates in a written thesis. Student’s pursuing a MS thesis-based are required to complete the following courses in the preferred sequence: ENGT 50100 (Research Seminar), MET 50300 (Applied Optimization), graduate-level Statistics Course, MET 52700 (Tech from a Global Perspective), and TECH 64600 (Research Methods and Writing Selective).
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, Computer Vision, Flexible Organic Electronics, Healthcare, Electric Hybrid Vehicles, Analog Circuits and Electronics, Acoustics, Project Management, Digital Enterprise Systems, and Manufacturing.
Financial Support (On-campus Students):
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.
