Engineering Technologist vs. Engineer: What’s the Difference

[@TheCommonSenseProfessor]

Thank you for the video. There is so much confusion about the engineering technology (ET) discipline, especially when it comes to the career that a four-year ET program prepares someone for. I have been teaching ET for 16 years and I have had 0 students to get a job in industry as a technologist. To guess, I would say 95% of my graduates are engineers right out of college. Also, half of the states in the US allow ET graduates to take the PE just like graduates of theoretical engineering degrees. There has been a push recently to change the names of four-year ET programs to Applied Engineering, which is a better name for the discipline.

This video is perfect! It’s just what I needed between deciding to be an EE or ET.

A gem!!!!!💎 thank you

Great info and details. My boss has a civil ET degree and is PE licensed. They title him an engineer instead of technologist though.

The only difference is that engineering is theoretical, while engineering technology is applied engineering principles.

Is a technical engineer better than a scientific engineer?

[@syeddanishraza903]

Applied Engineer is Engineering Technologists

[@syeddanishraza903]

Engineering Technologists (Applied Engineering graduates) May progress as Professional Engineer Applied (P.E.A)
