Master of Science in Engineering Technology

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) defines engineering technology as “the profession in which a knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences gained by higher education, experience, and practice is devoted primarily to the implementation and extension of existing technology for the benefit of humanity.” 

Goodwin College’s online M.S. in Engineering Technology (MSET) is designed to meet the needs of state-of-the-art industrial environments, a unique market niche. The program not only focuses on the applied aspects of science and engineering, but also includes courses immediately relevant to technology, business, and management.

The MSET program is designed for students who wish to:

• Apply scientific and technological concepts to solving technological problems.
• Apply concepts and skills developed in a variety of technical and professional disciplines including computer applications and networking, materials properties and production processes, and quality control to improve production processes and techniques.
• Plan, facilitate, and integrate technology and problem-solving techniques in the leadership functions of the industrial enterprise system.
• Engage in applied technical research in order to add to the knowledge of the discipline and to solve problems in an industrial environment.
• Apply theories, concepts, and principles of related disciplines to develop the communication skills required for technical managers.

The degree focuses primarily on the applied aspects of the technological spectrum closest to product improvement, industrial practices, and engineering technology operation functions. It meets the need of graduate students who want to expand their knowledge in advanced engineering technology courses along with a particular technical specialty of their choosing.
