Yes we do! You can check with the office of Scholarships for the available scholarships you may qualify for.
Absolutely! Many of our faculty have established their lines of research. You can approach them with ideas for research or simply ask those who are interested to join their teams.
Yes we do. Few positions for student workers are available every semester. Students are required to maintain labs and open them for students’ use. They also work closely with faculty to organize spaces and prepare them for classes/experiments.

Engineering Technology (ET) differs from traditional Engineering in that it requires fewer math and science courses and places less emphasis on theoretical depth. However, ET strongly emphasizes practical applications and hands-on learning, translating theoretical concepts into real-world practice.
The Department offers concentrations in Engineering Technology that are comparable to traditional Engineering disciplines. Both fields prepare students to become engineers and share significant overlap in terms of tasks and responsibilities. Please refer to the attached diagram for a visual representation of this overlap.
One of the key distinctions is that our program emphasizes Applied Engineering, with a strong focus on hands-on learning and reduced emphasis on advanced mathematics. This approach equips our graduates with both a solid theoretical foundation and practical experience. In most courses, students actively engage in laboratory work, applying concepts in real-world settings rather than learning theory alone.
