Engineering technologists focus on the implementation and real-life application of
engineering solutions and designs. Technologists apply their knowledge of engineering,
math, science, and technology in technical tasks. They often work in teams to identify or implement solutions.
Graduates of ETSU’s Engineering Technology program may work in any number of settings or industries. Technologists are needed by both large and small businesses, in health care, and by local, state, and governmental agencies. Technologists can use their skills on construction sites, in hospitals, in laboratories, and in manufacturing plants.

What are Engineering Technologists?
Engineering Technologists use technology and innovative thinking to solve problems. For example, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, we experienced a shortage of personal protective equipment, or PPE, to reduce exposure and limit spread of the disease. Faculty members from our Engineering Technology program saw the need and decided to use our talents and resources to help. Through innovation, problem solving, and community support, they were able to create a prototype that did not require a 3D printer and could be quickly created and assembled. Nearly 5,000 emergency face shields designed by ETSU have been donated thus far.
