DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAMS

The Construction Management Technology (CMTE) curriculum is a four year program of studies leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree. This interdisciplinary curriculum accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) provides a background in the several physical and applied sciences and construction technology. Technical content is balanced by courses in business management, communications, humanities, and social sciences. This broad diversification provides the technical base needed for immediate employment as well as the managerial concepts for career development. Students must complete 126 semester hours of designated coursework including supervised internship in the construction industry.

The curriculum in Engineering Technology (ETEE/ETME) follows TAC/ABET recommendations and offers upper division courses leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology. The program is designed to provide a flexible course of study for students holding an Associate Degree in Engineering Technology from the Maryland Community College system, and for students transferring out of the regular engineering program. The first two years may be completed through any of the engineering technology programs offered by an accredited community college. The Electrical/Electronics option is designed to prepare graduates for a career in the Electrical Engineering field. The curriculum provides in-depth exposure to the areas of digital systems (including microprocessors), communication systems, power machinery, and electronic systems design. The Mechanical option is designed to prepare graduates for a career in the Mechanical Engineering field. The curriculum provides in-depth exposure to the areas of manufacturing, thermal power, and mechanical systems design. It is anticipated that most students from community colleges will transfer about 60 credit hours. A total of 126 semester credits are required for graduation.

Technology Education (EDTE) is a four-year program of study leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree which will certify students to teach technology education in the secondary school. Students acquire technical knowledge and skills through creative and problem solving learning experiences related to the core technologies supporting manufacturing, construction, communication and transportation industries. A sequence of professional education and liberal studies courses are also required to develop leadership, citizenship and pedagogical skills needed for successful teaching. A total of 126 credits are required for graduation.

Graduation requirements for each major program are divided among general education courses, major core courses, supportive courses, elective courses and professional education courses. Students must receive a grade of "C" or better in prerequisite courses, major core courses, supportive courses, technical elective courses and selected general education courses. Included in the total semester hours for graduation technology majors are required to complete forty (40) semester hours of general education courses.
