As you may have discovered by now, the career options in engineering technology are numerous, perhaps even a little overwhelming when you're still trying to figure out what you want to do! But you can narrow it down. Think about those classes that interested you when you were in high school, and you can do some research on all the areas that engineering technology touches on: manufacturing; test and evaluation; routine design; production; operation, service and maintenance; and distribution and sales. Now apply those areas to your skills and interests: are you a doer, a builder, a collector of data? Perhaps the engineering technician career would interest you more. If your interests lie in applied mathematics and science, if you're applications-oriented, would like to develop and produce products, enjoy achieving practical, workable results and are committed to a four-year education, a career as an engineering technologist may be the area to pursue. The best advice we can give you, however, is to talk with your academic advisor or the division chairperson of the program you're leaning toward. You may even want to touch base with students who are already majoring in your area of interest. Many colleges and universities also offer career planning courses, as well as self-assessment tools including written and computer-aided personality and interest tests. Any of these resources can provide valuable insights into the major that's right for you. Click on to find an ETE school near you.
