Engineering technologists focus on the implementation and real-life application of engineering solutions and designs. Technologists apply their knowledge of math, science, engineering, and technology in technical tasks. They often work in teams to implement or identify solutions.

Graduates of the East Tennessee State University's (ETSU) Engineering Technology program may work in any number of settings or industries. Technologists are needed by both large and small businesses, in health care, and by local, state, and governmental agencies. Technologists can use their skills in laboratories, on construction sites, in manufacturing plants, and in hospitals.

The College of Business and Technology's Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology program provides students with the knowledge and ability to design systems, components, and processes that meet specific needs for broadly-defined engineering problems.

The Biomedical concentration is designed to prepare technologists for work in health care settings. Biomedical engineering technologists often work on a health care team to ensure safe and effective use of medical instruments and equipment.
