If you're on this web site, we're assuming you want to consider pursuing courses in math and science — perhaps you've even narrowed your interest to engineering programs. As you consider developing a curriculum, think in terms of the kinds of classes you enjoyed in high school — was math a favorite? Or did you enjoy the communications classes more, with a little mathematics on the side? Keep in mind that unlike engineering, engineering technology doesn't necessarily focus as much on research and development, but involves more manufacturing and production, as well as distribution and sales. You'll also want to remember that a major in one of the engineering technology disciplines may require a lot of classes, so you might have to declare your major as early as fall semester of your sophomore year. For some majors, you must take prerequisites (specific courses) during your first and second year before you're even considered eligible for upper level courses. You can find out what the prerequisites are by getting a copy of the courses and degrees catalog published by your school. These guidelines provide a list of required classes, class descriptions and other requirements you might need to fulfill so you can graduate. If you later find that a field you decide to major in isn't offered by your university, you can select something closely related and continue your studies in a graduate program, or you can transfer to a university with a program in that major. By asking the right questions of yourself and others, you can plan your college curriculum with confidence. The bottom line is you want to study what you enjoy learning about, what you can do well, and what will be the foundation for your future success. Click on to find an ETE school near you.
