Engineering Technology - Information - Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology
Information Engineering Technology (IET) focusing on the study related to “information engineering” – its principles, technologies, networks, and applications. It is a vibrant discipline that has a tremendous impact on the economy as well as society. Information Engineering covers the following areas:
- Computer Programming and Coding,
- Database Technology,
- Telecommunications & Networking,
- Internet Technologies & Applications,
- Operating Systems Technology,
- Digital Forensics, and
- Information Security
The Information Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700. www.abet.org
