BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PROFESSIONAL STUDIES Engineering Technology Concentration Take an interdisciplinary path to become an applied engineer. The Bachelor of Science in Professional Studies is an interdisciplinary degree that provides concentrations to best match your professional and personal goals. The Engineering Technology concentration provides an alternative path to the engineering field. It is an applied program that allows students to explore the integration of engineering principles and modern technology. Graduates will use their math, science, and engineering skills to design products and systems, install and maintain products, and provide a wide range of services such as implementation of the design, testing, calibration, and supervision of its operation.
