General Information

Financial Support Opportunities

In addition to general university scholarships and student employment, the School of Technology offers scholarships, an academic internship program with industry, and a variety of departmental part-time jobs such as research assistant, new-product developer, lab assistant, paper grader, electronics technician, maintenance assistant, computer operator, etc.

Academic Internships

Industrial experience in the major before graduation is strongly encouraged. Qualified students may enroll in 199R or 399R (academic internship) and receive 1–3 hours of credit for each semester. The internship program must be approved before the actual experience. A formal report and employer evaluation are required. Up to 3 internship credit hours may be used to fill technical elective requirements with advisor's approval.

Transfer Credit

When transferring into the school, students should meet with an assigned advisor before registering for classes to evaluate their technical courses and to get help in planning their schedule for completing their remaining course work.

Extracurricular Activities

Students are encouraged to join student chapters of national professional organizations affiliated with their major area of study. Student interaction, leadership, and career awareness are important to engineering and technology studies. All majors are encouraged to not only become members and actively participate in these chapters but also to support field trips, guest speakers, banquets, and program activities.

Professional Program Acceptance

Students must be accepted into the professional program before they may take upper-division courses in any of the programs. To apply, students must have completed the preprofessional requirements for their major program with a minimum grade of C– in each course. A professional program application (available from the College of Engineering and Technology Advisement Center, 264 CB) must be completed and submitted to the advisement center. Acceptance is based primarily upon the grade point average received in preprofessional and other major courses, including all grades in repeated courses. Normal professional program application deadlines are June 1, October 1, and February 1, although applications may be considered at other times for extenuating circumstances.

Academic Standards and Continuance

On gaining acceptance into the professional program, students must maintain a minimum university cumulative grade point average of 2.0. Students who accumulate more than 6 credit hours of grades below C– in professional program courses may not continue in the program or graduate until courses are retaken to reduce the unacceptable credit to 6 or fewer hours. A professional program course may not be retaken more than once.

Student Advising

To help each student gain the best educational experience, every student is assigned a faculty advisor upon entering the program. We strongly encourage students to visit with their advisor at least every year, and preferably every semeter, to ensure that they are making appropriate progress in the program and taking courses in the appropriate sequence.

Electronics Engineering Technology

C. Richard Helps, Chair
265 CTB, PO Box 24206, (801) 378-6300

The Discipline

Electronics engineering technologists create, test, and assemble systems using the best available electronics technology. Although they're grounded in mathematics and electronic theory, students focus strongly on implementing technology. The program offers a comprehensive coverage of analog and digital systems, communications, light-wave, DSP, networking, and instrumentation, emphasizing computer hardware/software applications. BYU has exceptional laboratory and workshop facilities to help students learn all aspects of design implementation.

Students should plan for life long learning. Graduates often form teams with engineers, technicians, and other professionals. A master of science degree can be pursued in engineering technology, or other graduate opportunities exist in business, computer science, or law.
The program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (TAC/ABET).

Career Opportunities

Career opportunities are plentiful and rewarding in both large and small companies. Electronic systems pervade modern society, and graduates in this field are needed to produce, design, test, and maintain these devices and systems. Many graduates find careers in computer networking, VLSI testing, applications engineering, computer hardware and software systems, real-time programming, and quality control and on engineering project teams.

General Information

Technical Electives

Nine hours of 400-level EET core electives are selected from a list of six EET courses to allow students ample choice in their senior year. Six additional upper-division hours of technical electives, selected from other areas on the BYU campus, allow students to prepare for specific fields. These 6 elective hours must be approved by an advisor prior to taking the classes.

High School Background

Recommended high school courses include electronics, algebra, trigonometry, physics, and computers. Additional course work in calculus, drafting, chemistry, and shop is also recommended. Students who lack this preparation should meet with an advisor for help in planning their program.

Transfer Students

This four-year degree is designed so that students who complete a TAC/ABET-accredited two-year electronics technician program can transfer to BYU and complete the BS program with minimum interruption.

Manufacturing Engineering Technology

 Charles Harrell, Chair
265 CTB, PO Box 24206, (801) 378-6300

The Discipline

Manufacturing is an exciting and rewarding discipline that largely determines a society's standard of living and economic independence. There is an increasing demand for manufacturing professionals who are knowledgeable and skilled in the methods, procedures, technologies, equipment, and tooling needed to produce quality and affordable products. Such individuals must also be able to effectively coordinate the procurement, installation, and start-up of production operations. Few professions encompass such a broad range of activities and utilize so many skills.
Students in manufacturing learn creative and analytical skills that will enable them to quickly diagnose and solve manufacturing problems. They also develop interpersonal and communication skills that will prepare them to work as part of an engineering team and effectively interact with vendors, management, and production personnel. In addition, they receive hands-on training in modern lab facilities and learn to use computers to design, analyze, implement, and control manufacturing operations.
With the increased use of electronics in process control and automation, and the growth taking place in electronics manufacturing, students are given opportunities to integrate electronics learning with their manufacturing education. MET students have the option to earn a minor in electronics engineering technology.
The manufacturing engineering technology program combines a technical accredited degree with an optional business management minor to prepare graduates for technical and management positions within a manufacturing organization. Graduates may further their technical and managerial skills by pursuing either a master of science in technology or a master of business administration.

Career Opportunities

Career opportunities in manufacturing are plentiful and rewarding. Typical job titles include manufacturing engineer, process engineer, tool engineer, product engineer, quality engineer, and production supervisor. New graduates are typically hired into technical positions but have the opportunity to quickly move into supervisory and management positions.
The job outlook for manufacturing graduates is bright and should continue to be strong into the future. When one considers that every human-made object around us is the product of some form of manufacturing, it is easy to see that manufacturing is an integral part of our society and generates an ever-growing workforce. Progressive companies in industries worldwide are always on the lookout for qualified individuals who can improve the quality and productivity of their manufacturing operations.

General Information

The manufacturing program is designed to provide simple transfer from local feeder schools, including Ricks College and UVSC. Students transferring from these or other schools should meet with a college and department advisor as soon as possible to evaluate transfer credits and plan the student's BYU curriculum.
