Engineering Technology is the practical application of math and science to the solution of real-world problems. By applying engineering principles and implementing technological advances, engineering technologists work to benefit society. Graduates with an Engineering Technology degree often seek employment in fields such as, manufacturing; component design; test and evaluation; production engineering; distribution and sales; operation, service and maintenance; and company management.

BTC’s Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Technology (BAS-ET) degree is designed to meet the needs of students who want to practice engineering in industry. The program focuses on providing applied technical education that prepares graduates to be productive professionals who make meaningful contributions to the engineering industry. Our program curriculum balances theoretical content with robust applied problem solving. Intensive engineering design projects provide students with a strong foundation of engineering knowledge and skills that align with traditional and emerging engineering and technology careers.

The BAS-ET degree is a 2-year + 2-year online format. This program allows students who have previously received a 2-year associate degree to complete an additional 2-years of an applied bachelor’s degree, fully online. All junior- and senior-level courses are delivered via online instruction, and is designed for students who are unable to attend a traditional Engineering Technology program due to geographic location or scheduling challenges (work, family, or other obligations).

Students can apply for admission into this program in any quarter. After being admitted, students will join the next cohort, which starts every fall quarter. During the admissions and advising process, a detailed program of study will be developed for each student.

Students must complete all of the following requirements before being admitted to the next cohort. For students who are currently working to complete their first degree, conditional acceptance into the program can be granted during the admissions and advising process.
