1. Minimum C (2.000) grade required
2. To fulfill the writing-intensive requirement, either TECH 31000 or TECH 33092 must be earned with minimum C (2.000) grade.
3. Applied courses should be chosen from an approved associate degree or a declared minor or individualized specialization selected in consultation with an advisor. For the individualized specialization courses see each concentration below.

Note:    Students in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology degree program may apply for more than one concentration, provided that there are 18 credit hours or more of Upper Division course work in the subsequent concentration. These hours must be in one of the Engineering Technology disciplines of EERT, MERT, CDAG, GAE or TECH. Students must also complete all of the other concentration requirements specific to each concentration, in addition to differentiating their major elective courses across the two concentrations. Students who declare the 2+2 Integrated Engineering Technology concentration may not elect any other concentration. Likewise, students who elect any of the other Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology concentrations may not elect the 2+2 Integrated Engineering Technology concentration.

Students electing a dual concentration must meet with an advisor to plan an individualized plan of study that meets these requirements before the dual concentration option will be approved for that student. Any changes made to the program of study also must be approved by an advisor, or the student may not be allowed to graduate with this option.
