Manufacturing Engineering Technologist Engineering Technologists use the principles of math and science to solve technical problems in the development of new products, manufacturing, marketing, sales, construction, inspection and maintenance. A manufacturing professional is a leader, one who can organize a diverse group of people to focus on a particular problem. They multi-task and respond quickly to changes. At times it may be very important to perform effectively as a member of a team, while other situations call for strong leadership and management skills. These engineers fill a wide variety of positions, including robotics and industrial automation; computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM); computer integrated manufacturing (CIM); technical sales; plant and facilities engineering; production and business management; machinery and tool design; and process and quality engineering. information obtained from American Society of Engineering Education (www.asee.org)
Electronic Engineering Technologist Engineering Technologists use the principles of math and science to solve problems. Electronic engineering technologists are responsible for a wide range of technologies. They design, develop, test and supervise the manufacture of electrical and electronic systems and equipment. They are prepared to work in various industries such as; power generation, automotive, aircraft, radar and navigation, broadcast and communications systems. They perform a variety of tasks including analog and digital design, microprocessor hardware and software applications, plant engineering, technical management, engineering sales, product design and development, and electronic communications. They even can go onto law school. information obtained from American Society of Engineering Education (www.asee.org)
Industrial Engineering Technologist Industrial Engineering Technologists focus on the business side of Engineering. Industrial Engineers determine the most effective ways for an organization to use their resources; people, machines, materials, information and energy. They work in a variety of industries such as various types of service (healthcare) and manufacturing industries. They utilize a combination of good organization, management and technical skills. Industrial engineering technologists work with design, safety, quality control and human factors engineering. Course of study may include; ergonomics, lean manufacturing, statistics, cost accounting, project management, quality and safety. information obtained from American Society of Engineering Education (www.asee.org)
Mechanical Engineering Technologist Engineering Technologists use the principles of math and science to solve technical problems in the development of new products, manufacturing marketing, sales, construction, inspection and maintenance. The technologist is more limited in scope and more practically oriented then that of other scientists and engineers. They design and develop just about everything you could think of as a machine from super sonic jets to automobiles to bicycle to kitchen appliances. They influence the design of other products also such as shoes, light bulbs and even oven doors. Areas of speciation may include manufacturing, robotics, automotive, air conditioning and helping develop tools for the handicap. Studies include; Statics, Dynamics, Strength of Materials, Machine Design, Thermodynamics, Automotive Technologies and Production Management. information obtained from American Society of Engineering Education (www.asee.org)
