59 I 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 shong applications-orientation in support of engineering activities. The College of Applied Science & Technology offers AAS and BS degrees in the following engineering technology programs: • Computer Engineering Technology • Design Graphics Engineering Technology • Electronics Engineering Technology • Manufacturing Engineering Technology • Mechanical Engineering Technology The BS degrees in these programs are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., Ill 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 tiaining to automotive technicians, instructors, regulatory officials, field engineers, and consumer groups as well 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.
