53 Engineering Technology Programs Engineering technology education focuses primarily on the applied aspects of science and engineering aimed at preparing graduates for practice in that portion of the technological spectrum closest to product improvement, industrial processes, and operational functions. The engineering technology programs at Weber State prepare individuals for a wide variety of positions in technology-based business and industries. The study of engineering technology requires a knowledge of mathematical, scientific, and engineering principles in combination with a strong applications- orientation in support of engineering activities. The College of Applied Science and Technology offers AAS and BS degrees in the following engineering technology programs: • Computer Engineering Technology • Design Graphics Engineering Technology • Electronics Engineering Technology* • Manufactu ri ng Engineering Technol ogy* • Mechanical Engineering Technology* * The BS degrees in these programs are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone 410-347-7700. Center for Automotive Science and Technology Director: Joe Thomas Location: TE 201 Telephone: 801-626-7836 The Center for Automotive Science and Technology was established in 1997 to assist in developing a better understanding of vehicle emissions among academic, regulatory, and private sector entities, both locally and nationally. To do this, the Center provides training to automotive technicians, instructors, regulatory officials, field engineers, and consumer groups aswell as doing applied research on vehicular emissions. Additionally, the Center gathers and disseminates information about the impact of emissions, design for emission abatement, and efficiency of vehicles. The Center is a cooperative endeavor of the University, the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, and multiple private companies. Technology Assistance Center Director: Rick Orr Location: ET218F Telephone: 801-626-7514 The Technology Assistance Center was established in 1991 to provide various types of technical assistance to regional business and industry. The goal of the Center is to furnish technical and managerial support in support of manufacturing development and diversification. As part of this mission, the Center also works closely with economic development and other assistance organizations within the state. The Technology Assistance Center responds to the technical support needs of businesses, local governments, and economic development groups by acting as an information clearing house, conducting data base searches, providing technical assistance in product or process development or testing, and demonstrating new or emerging technologies. This assistance, which is provided by faculty and students, includes but is not limited to problem solving, decision support for new technology or systems, product or process design assistance, material handling, cost analysis, quality control assistance, team building, and technical training. DEPARTMENT Computer and Electronics Engineering Technology Chair: Dr. William G. Clapp Location: Building 4, Room 421 Telephone Contact: Linda Thornock 801-626-6898 Professors: William Clapp, Jay Smith, Robert Summers; Associate Professors: Wayne Andrews, Verne Hansen: Instructor: Steve Green; Visiting Professor: Ed Price I he Computer and Electronics Engineering Technology Department (CEET) provides applications- oriented education which produces graduates who are prepared to make significant contributions in technology based career fields. The programs in the department prepare students to incorporate computer and electronic systems in solving engineering, technology, science, and manufacturing problems. The Department offers an Associate of Applied Science degree and a Bachelor of Science degree in either Computer Engineering Technology (CET) or Electronics Engineering Technology (EET). The department also offers a minor in Electronics Engineering Technology. A.A.S. Degree. The A.A.S. degree prepares graduates to specify, install, operate, troubleshoot, and modify computers, automated programmable controllers, and electronic systems. It is designed to give the student fundamental knowledge and basic skills in robotics, automation, electronic manufacturing, fabrication, testing, and troubleshooting. CET. The Computer Engineering Technology A.A.S. program is a combination of software and hardware courses supporting off- the-shelf computer systems and networking. EET. The Electronics Engineering Technology A.A.S. program is more hardware oriented in support of electronic devices, communications, and embedded computer systems. B.S. Degree.The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree is designed to continue a student's education beyond the associate's degree level.It is intended to provide the student with knowledge and skills in problem solving, critical thinking, project management, team building, and engineering research to identify, evaluate, analyze, and solve complex computer and electronic related technical problems. CET. The Computer Engineering Technology BS program is a combination of advanced software and hardware courses supporting customized and off-the-shelf computer systems. EET. The Electronics Engineering Technology BS program is more hardware oriented in support of electronic devices, circuit design, power systems, telecommunications, and embedded computer systems. Computer Engineering Technology ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE (A.A.S.) » Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better in all CEET and support courses (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable).
