The field of engineering and technology involves the study of how the conceptual design focus of engineering can be utilized in technological applications. Engineering and technology students learn how to take the plans made by engineers and make them work in the real world.

A graduate pathway may do more than simply prepare a student for the classes in an advanced degree program. It could be used on a resume to show a future employer that the student stayed focused on the end goal throughout the entirety of his or her education.
