Why Study Engineering Technology?

Turn ideas into real-world solutions with an applied and experiential Bachelor of Science  degree in Engineering Technology (BSET). Graduates from this program will be prepared for diverse career options as its focus on civil and environmental engineering technology draws from Ferrum College’s strengths in environmental science, agriculture, and water quality, along with strong foundations in chemistry and physics. 

The bachelor’s degree will lead into the Engineer in Training (EIT) credential, which then leads to the Professional Engineer (PE) certification after four years of experience working in the graduate’s chosen discipline. The BSET offers a high return on investment, among the strongest in higher education, because it allows for rapid entry into a high-paying technical professional career.
