Differences between Construction Engineering Technology and Civil engineers?

I applied to the University of Toledo (in Ohio) and I wanted to major in Civil engineering, but they said they admitted me to Construction Engineering Technology. So what are the Differences between Construction Engineering Technology and Civil engineers. And if I pursue a career in one of these chosen areas, what could I expect as a Salary? and which one will I have some days at a desk and others on site?

Do not make a career choice based on how much money you will earn because you will just be disappointed in the end.

Having said that, civil engineering and CET are very different. Civil engineering majors design things. CET majors build them. As a CET major, you will not get to design things. You will be responsible for building a project designed by the civil engineer. You will be charged with coming up with cheaper ways to build better products. You will most likely be in charge of construction, but you’ll probably be supervised by a civil engineer. Both CET majors and civil engineering majors will have days at a desk and on site. A CET major will probably have more time on site as they usually work for construction companies. A CET degree is easier to earn as it’s not nearly math intensive as a civil engineering degree.

If you want to be a civil engineer and design stuff, than I’d advise to switch your major. If you want to be outside more, than I’d advise that you continue on in the CET program.

LECTURE: Engineering Technology Commercialization at USC

The Graduate Certificate in Technology Commercialization provides students with a variety of opportunities to learn commercialization skills in an academic/real world environment that combines theory and practice. Students participate in our living laboratory academic program to experience the entire spectrum of the commercialization process: invention, product development, technical and market feasibility analysis, intellectual property acquisition, business planning, and venture funding while potentially becoming stakeholders in a new technology venture. They are also eligible to apply for summer internships sponsored by industry partners to give them additional experience in taking a new technology to market. Visit http://www.usc.edu/org/techalliance/NewVentureSupport.htm for more information.

Duration : 0:5:21

What is Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technician?

Basically, I’m wondering if someone could explain, distinguish, and tell the similarities and differences between Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technician? This answer can as long as it needs to be. For those who are thinking about answering this question don’t feel over whelmed. It’s more of an inquiry than anything. This would help me out a lot. Thanks

mechanical engineering divided into 3 departments
production
Vachel’s
power
production department studies mainly in design production Equipment.
such as dies, bearings,gears,mechanisms,machines parts as-simpling,hook joints,all machining process such as milling &wilding….,all casting procedures such as centrifugal and continuous and fer as alloys Fever Assad non fer ass or metal and non metal materials and its treatment.

Vachel’s mainly in design Vachel’s equipments.

power mainly studies in A/C & boilers and pumps for all fluids .

What is the diffrence between "technology" and "engineering" majors?

What the difference between:

Computer networking technology
Computer programming technology
Computer science
Computer Engineering Technology

I want to build computers and make programs. Does that mean I would do Computer engineering and then computer programming technology?
Would simply doing computer science and engineering be a "catch-all" for what I want?

Any advice on where I can understand computer fields?

I was looking into this:
http://www.mcc.commnet.edu/academic/divisionsCBT.php

You say that you would like to build computers (hardware I’m assuming) and write programs for those computers. To start off I have to admit that your career outlook is looking very good if you stick with it. To answer your question as best I can I’m breaking those four careers down.

Computer networking is, according to me, building and maintaining a network for most likely a business’s data or mainframe. I’m assuming you’d be dealing a lot with how to configure network routers, gateways, and access points, and you might be doing quite a bit of actual physical maintenance of the servers. (most likely referred to as the IT field (information technology))

Computer programming depends a lot on the language that you plan to learn. I think that C++ is the main language for basic personal computers. Cobol is mainly for business and FORTRAN is usually for engineering programs. As a programmer your outlook isn’t looking to great in my opinion. A lot of programming work is being outsourced to India for cheaper labor, but I could be wrong.

I think that computer science is basically forming and studying algorithms. When you write a program, let’s say in C++, you have to use a certain syntax to write your source code. If the wrong syntax is used you will get a compiler error when you try to run it on your terminal. In your source code you may need to develop an equation or system of equations to form a solution. That is basically your algorithm.

Computer engineering is BIG BIG BIG money. I have a few friends who are CSciE majors (Computer Science and Engineering) that love what they are doing and they have a great career outlook. It deals a lot with circuit design, software rendering, and hardware manufacturing. An example CSciE job would be at like HP or somewhere in Silicon Valley developing microprocessors, circuit boards, etc. This field has a lot to do with Electrical Engineering as well.

I’m sorry if I didn’t explain anything too terribly well. Most of the information I know about this topic is what I learned from friends. Personally I’m going for a major in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Astrophysics so…..I probably won’t have too much experience developing programs etc. I wish you all the best in pursuing your career of choice, especially in computing, because the more knowledgable computing professionals we have here in America, the less we’ll have to outsource to India. Have a good one.

Could I transfer from a Engineering Technology Program To a Regular Engineering Program?

Could i transfer from Wentworth Institute of Tech, in a mechanical engineering technology program to Umass Amherst which is a Regular mechanical engineering program and have my credits transfer correctly?
Wel im really good at calculus which is the basis of engineering and i havent taken the engineering technology course yet, my back up school is Wentworth, i was just wondering is i went there for a year, got my grades up to a high A ( my GPA is a low A right now) then transfer to Umass Amherst and continue in a Engineering Program.

It’s possible, but few credits would transfer. (General Ed credits would transfer).

Think carefully about this. Engineering Math is very difficult for someone used to the pace of Engineering Technology math. You could end up blowing your GPA with no way back to the BSMET.

It may be better for you to take the BSMET, get NICET Certification as a CET, then go for an MSET.

After getting an associates in electrical engineering technology are there any jobs that pay towards a B.S.?

I have a A.S. in Radiological Technology and will be finishing in a year with an A.S. in Electrical Engineering Technology.

If you mean a job which subsidizes your further studies, very unlikely. Very, very unlikely unless you have some special claim on society.

In general, if you lack funds to finish your BS yourself, or grades high enough to get student loans to finish, but grades high enough to gain entrance to a BS program, your best bet will be to get an evening job and study half time.

In my case, I worked until I had enough money to finish three years before starting college, then worked part-time for those three years and managed to graduate without starving very much. It all worked out, eventually, and lots of others do the same thing or better every day.

Good luck.

can you give me information about some majors such as Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology?

what exactly is Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, i’m interested in computer engineering and electronics engineering. Is Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology just a combination of the two or what is it? Any answers would be great. Thanks in advance.
