Western Carolina University offers two bachelor’s degrees in engineering technology. The first degree based in Cullowhee is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of ABET. The focus of the ABET accredited BSET program is on applied systems technology, preparing graduates for careers in process and systems design, technical sales, and manufacturing operations, among other areas.
The second degree is offered at our distance locations across western North Carolina, concentrating on technical operations. The curriculum is designed for career-focused working adults who wish to pursue their degree through part-time study. The first two years of the program may be taken at any North Carolina Community College or on campus in Cullowhee. Students receive instruction through online courses and evening classes at off-site locations. This second program is not ABET accredited. Graduates of our ABET-accredited BSET program are landing outstanding jobs with employers in industries such as aerospace/aviation, automotive, online retail, heavy equipment, outdoor recreation, and many more.
