Vision Statement

The Department of Engineering Technology and Construction Management will be globally renowned for its excellence in education and scholarship within all of its comprehensive programs, ultimately becoming a role model for other institutions.

Mission Statement

The Engineering Technology and Construction Management programs provide students with a broad range of academic instruction and in-depth skill development, in the program discipline areas of Construction Management, Electronics Engineering Technology, CAD/CAM Engineering Technology, CAD/GIS Engineering Technology, through professional, credentialed faculty, using state of the art facilities and equipment. Furthermore, we aim to provide meaningful service to industry, government, and all communities served by the university. The mission of the Department of Engineering Technology and Construction Management is to provide a learning-centered environment that enables students, faculty, and staff to achieve their goals and to empower students to compete on a global level for careers in government, industry, secondary education, and acceptance to graduate school.

The curricula are rich with opportunities for students to develop a sound understanding of fundamentals as well as specialized theories, practices, and ethics that enhance their learning experience. The Engineering Technology and Construction Management faculty are committed to providing high-quality education, individual guidance and assistance to students, helping them to develop the attributes of critical thinking, effective communication, lifelong learning, and individual integrity while pursuing their academic goals to assist in the economic development of the region through partnerships with industry, inventors, and entrepreneurs.
