Developing a Graduate Master's Degree Program in Engineering Technology: Overview of Program Objectives, Structure and Impact
A study was conducted to outline the state of graduate master’s degree programs in engineering technology that are currently offered in the nation and particularly in the state of Texas, and to reflect on their core learning objectives, structure, demand, demographics, and impact. The trends identified were discussed in light of assembling a Master of Science in Engineering Technology (MSET) degree with a concentration in Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MMET) within the department of Engineering Technology & Industrial Distribution (ETID) at Texas A&M University (TAMU). Though Bachelor’s degrees in engineering technology are generally larger in terms of the numbers of programs offered as well as in enrollment, graduate master’s degrees in engineering technology are becoming increasingly popular, especially since they offer a unique hands-on and industry-focused education at a graduate level that many regional employers seek. In this paper, the commonalities among these currently offered programs were outlined and discussed, especially in terms of the makeup of the program structure, courses, and learning objectives; these were then contrasted with aspects of the degree program currently being developed at TAMU. Further, a brief assessment of the potential job market awaiting the graduates from this program, as well as the expected student demand was presented. Future work includes continued refinement of the curriculum and other program details by drawing upon the best attributes of currently offered similar programs. ; Cockrell School of Engineering
