Piedmont Point play poster

The School of Theatre and Dance faculty and alumni are collaborating on a new play, Piedmont Point. Written by alumnus Scott Miesse (’15), Piedmont Point centers around a retirement complex in southern Florida. The play is set to premiere on August 25, 2023 to a sold-out crowd at Theatre Row, an Off-Broadway playhouse in NYC. Additional performances will be on August 26 at 8 p.m. and August 27 at 2 p.m. In addition to Miesse, the show features other Kent State faculty and alumni. Piedmont Point is directed by Amy Fristche, associate professor of acting and musical theatre, with alumna Abiga...

Program Information for Engineering Technology - B.S.

Program Description

Full Description

The Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology focuses primarily on the applied aspects of science and engineering and prepares graduates for practice in that portion of the technological spectrum closest to product improvement, manufacturing, construction and engineering operational functions.

The Engineering Technology major comprises the following concentrations:

  • The Electrical/Electronics concentration allows seamless articulation with technical associate degrees for students who wish to advance their careers in the electrical/electronic engineering field. Electrical engineers and technologists design, develop, test and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, and power generation equipment. Electronics engineers design and develop electronic equipment, such as broadcast and communications systems-from portable music players to global positioning systems (GPS).
  • The Green and Alternative Energy concentration refers to energy sources that have no undesired consequences, for example, fossil fuels or nuclear energy. Alternative energy sources are renewable and are thought to be "free" energy sources. They all have lower carbon emissions, compared to conventional energy sources. These include biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, and hydroelectric energy sources. Combined with the use of recycling, the use of clean alternative energies such as the home use of solar power systems will help ensure man's survival into the 21st century and beyond. By 2050, one-third of the world's energy will need to come from solar, wind, and other renewable resources, according to British Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell, two of the world's largest oil companies.
  • The Integrated Engineering Technology concentration permits graduates from a variety of associate degree backgrounds to formulate a program of advanced study in upper-division technical courses, chosen with a faculty advisor, to gain additional technical depth or breadth.
  • The Mechanical/Systems concentration allows seamless articulation with technical associate degrees for students who wish to advance their careers in the mechanical or manufacturing field. Mechanical engineering technology is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers and technologists design, develop, build and test mechanical and thermal devices, including tools, engines and machines. Graduates of this program can expect to work mostly in engineering services, research and development, manufacturing industries and the federal government.

Graduation Requirements

Minimum Major GPA Minimum Overall GPA
2.000 2.000
  • Students may declare more than one concentration in the Engineering Technology major, provided that there are minimum 18 credit hours of upper-division coursework in the subsequent concentration. These credit hours must be in one of the Engineering Technology disciplines of EERT, ENGR, MERT, GAE. Students must also complete all of the other concentration requirements specific to each concentration, in addition to differentiating their major elective courses across the two concentrations. Students who declare the Integrated Engineering Technology concentration may not elect any other concentration. Likewise, students who select any of the other Engineering Technology concentrations may not elect the Integrated Engineering Technology concentration.
  • Students electing a dual concentration must meet with an advisor to plan an individualized plan of study that meets these requirements before the dual concentration option will be approved for that student. Any changes made to the program of study also must be approved by an advisor, or the student may not be allowed to graduate with this option.
