An engineering technology certificate is a skills-focused, university-level credential you can pursue after earning a high school diploma or GED. Pursuing a certificate in engineering technology can help you build practical experience in areas like electronics, automation, and connected systems. Here at DeVry, you can learn these skills and more in our Undergraduate Certificate in Engineering Technology program.
Engineering technologists do hands-on work to design, implement, maintain, test, and improve technical systems, often in collaboration with engineers. They work in a wide range of industries — from manufacturing to healthcare — using applied skills to solve real-world problems and keep essential systems running smoothly.
Not quite. While both fields involve technical problem-solving, engineering technology is more focused on applying what you learn in real-world settings. Engineering tends to focus more on theory and advanced math. If you’re interested in using hands-on tools; solving practical problems; or working with automation, electronics or manufacturing systems, engineering technology may be a good fit.
Engineering technology isn’t necessarily easier than engineering as it depends on your skills, interests, and experience. Engineering technology roles are often a great match for people who prefer applied learning over heavy theory and advanced math, for example. Engineering, by contrast, is more focused on complex theoretical work and design.
