The title above is also the title of an article in the Spring 2012 issue of thet Journal of Engineering Technology. This one slipped by me even though I mentioned the other BSET articles in the Fall issue of that publication in my post of December 17th. Thanks to Ron Land, a professor at Penn State University for pointing me to this article. Ron, author of the article, was involved in a survey of employers regarding how BSET graduates were employed. And his article confirms what we all were glad to hear, BSET grads get jobs as engineers.
Of course, this is nothing new to those of us who have held bachelor of technology degrees and engineering jobs as well. I have one of the oldest (oldest?) bachelor of technology degrees, a BAS from the University of Houston. I won't say when I got that but even in those days when no one knew what the degree was, I ended up in one engineering position after another in the early days of my career. Most BSET grads I have ever talked to had engineering jobs.
I have always been disturbed by the idea of saying that BSET programs prepare graduates for jobs as "engineering technologists". Just what is that? And have you ever seen a job add for an engineering technologist? If you have, I would love to hear the details about it. Industry does not define such a job. Industry has jobs for engineers and technicians. That's it.
Anyway, Ron, thanks for your contribution to this controversy and clarifying what is going on in the real world. Be proud of your BSET.
And happy new year to you all.
