Engineering is the application of science to the needs of humanity. This is accomplished through knowledge, mathematics, and practical experience applied to the design of useful objects or processes. Professional practitioners of engineering are called engineers.

Engineering Technology

Architectural - Biomedical - Computer - Networking - Electrical - Mechanical - Surveying - Telecommunications

Engineering Technology is a broad term for the field that forms the backbone of manufacturing and other industries. It's often divided into smaller, specialized areas and skill sets. Electrical and mechanical engineering technologies create power systems and their components ? things like electrical devices, motors, engines, semiconductors, circuits, and computers. Civil engineering technology focuses on building bridges, tunnels, and transportation systems ? from subway and rail to air and space travel. Computer and telecommunications engineering technologies are at work in computer hardware and software, as well as in data and network systems.

Industrial Technology

Construction - CAD/CAM - Industrial Control - Networking Systems - Quality Systems - Transportation - Business Improvement - Validation Services - Batch and DCS Control - Process - Machine Vision - Regulatory Process

Industrial Technology is primarily involved with the management, operation, and maintenance of complex technological systems while Engineering and Engineering Technology are primarily involved with the design and installation of these systems.

Entrepreneurship

ALL FACETS OF ENGINEERING, ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY, INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY, AND ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP IN BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY ENDEAVORS.

Entrepreneurship seeks to reform or revolutionize the pattern of production by exploiting an invention or, more generally, an untried technological possibility for producing a new commodity or producing an old one in a new way, by opening up anew source of supply of materials or a new outlet for products. Entrepreneurship essentially consists in doing things that are not generally done in the ordinary course of business routine. Entrepreneurship is the dynamic process of creating incremental wealth. This wealth created by individuals who assume the major risks in terms of equity, time, and/or career commitment of providing value for some product or service. The product or service itself may or may not be new or unique but value must somehow be infused by the entrepreneur by securing and allocating the necessary skills and resources.
