Engineering Technology, MS

About the Program

Having an advanced degree from Purdue University positions students to make high-impact contributions in the field of engineering technology. Research and coursework in the Master’s for Engineering Technology will prepare students for leadership or advanced technical positions in industry, academia, and government in applied research, solution development, entrepreneurial ventures, and management.

Engineering technology professionals must be adaptable as they solve a wide variety of technical challenges. Engineering Technology involves use-inspired research, which can include production, operations, and processes to solve demanding business and industry challenges. Engineering Technology as a discipline is primarily focused on using engineering science, values, and knowledge with the technical, personnel, and abilities necessary for typical engineering, electrical, manufacturing, mechanical, and related development projects or processes for example.

 A student in the Engineering Technology graduate program has the opportunity for specialized coursework, put together with a major professor, to create your plan of study. Working closely with a mentor allows students the opportunity to contribute to leading-edge research projects.​

Master’s students can pursue a thesis or non-thesis option. See below for each set of requirements.
