Engineering Technology Q's

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>After taking a few courses at my University I have decided to make the transition from History to an Engineering Technology Major. I have thoroughly enjoyed the more hands on approach.</p>

<p>My University offers these Engineering Technologies (B.S. degree)
Mechanical E T
Nuclear E T
Electronics E T
Construction E T
Manufacturing E T</p>

<p>I had some questions to those of you who may be Technologist or who work with them.</p>

<p>Which has the greater job opportunity ( I will be graduating in 2 to 2.5 yrs)</p>

<p>What is the usual Starting Salary for a Engineering Technologist (I'd presume Nuclear would make the most money). I couldn't really find this salary cap on line due to most statistics show Engineering Technicians (2 yr degree) I'll be going for a B.S. </p>

<p>I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area if that makes any difference. Thank you for your responses, I really look forward to reading them.</p>

<p>I think you should go into what you will enjoy the best. If you do like nuclear I highly suggest the navy nuke program upon graduation.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply pal…I would really like to hear from other engineers/ scholars that have the answers to my questions. I need to make a decision by this friday, that is when I register for summer classes and I need to start with the basics of the majors.</p>

<p>Most engineers won’t be able to help. There aren’t that many Technologist programs, and unless you live in Texas, it’s rare for an engineer to work with a technologist. Your best bet is to contact students at the school. Talk to a counselor or a professor, explain your situation, and ask for advice. Most people tend to be helpful.</p>
