Engineering Technology education focuses primarily on analyzing, applying, implementing and improving existing technologies.
The Department of Engineering Technology at Old Dominion
University offers campus and distance learning courses in
Civil Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technology.
All upper-level courses required for all engineering technology programs are delivered via distance learning through ODU's distance learning system. Thus, students with associate degrees may complete degree requirements without attending the main campus.
The mission of the Engineering Technology Department is to provide students with preeminent, nationally recognized engineering technology programs that carefully balance theory, robust applied laboratory and engaging classroom experiences designed to serve as a strong foundation of knowledge and skills, enabling graduates to seize opportunities in traditional and emerging careers in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering technology.
