Program Announcements

The ETSU department of Engineering Technology, Surveying, and Digital Media is currently considering the formation of new Engineering Technology (ENTC) cohorts that can began as early as the Fall 2009 semester. The ET cohort programs are primarily for students seeking to complete either (a) a four year, B.S. degree in Engineering Technology &/or (b) an M.S. degree in Technology.
 
Depending upon a demonstrated level of interest, ETSU may develop one or more program-specific or multidisciplinary undergraduate cohorts for students studying in one of the following Engineering Technology program areas:
    •  Construction;
    •  Electronics;
    •  Manufacturing (General &/or Programming & Automation sequences);
    •  Product Development, or
    •  Industrial Technology.
If there is sufficient interest, ETSU may also form a new graduate-level cohort program for students interested in pursuing an M.S. degree in Technology with a concentration in Engineering Technology.
 
The cohort(s), developed to satisfy the needs of previously underserved populations of students within the Knoxville/Oak Ridge metropolitan area, will follow the previous model of engineering technology cohorts by offering a schedule of at least two (2) technical courses taught each term for at least six (6) consecutive semesters. All cohort-related classes will be offered during the evenings and will be delivered either locally (typically on the Pelissippi campus) or via through realtime or asynchronous methods (e.g., interactive Internet two-way video classroom conferencing or traditional on-line courses).

For more information, please contact Ms. Kristin Ferguson.

Active Cohorts: ETSU's first on-site cohort for a Masters (MS) degree in Technology with a Concentration in Engineering Technology began in Fall 2007. If you are interested in participating in another M.S. degree program cohort opportunity, please contact Ms. Kristin Ferguson, the on-site cohort coordinator and academic advisor, or Dr. Andy Clark, the departmental graduate advisor.

Pellissippi Cohort Program Overview

Since 2001, ETSU has partnered with Pellissippi State Technical Community College (PSTCC) to offer an on-going series of on-site 2+2 transfer programs leading to a B.S. degree in Engineering Technology in a number of technical (program) concentrations (i.e., Electronics Engineering Technology (EET), Industrial Technology (IT), Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MET), & Product Development (PDEV).

For more information on current and planned cohort offerings, see the announcements section below or contact the ETSU@Pellissippi on-site coordinator, Ms. Kristin Ferguson, by phone at (865) 539-7033 and leave a message with contact information or by E-mail at ferguske@etsu.edu.

It is strongly recommended that all prospective transfer students visit the departmental "Transferring into ETSU" page for detailed information regarding university and departmental policies and requirements prior to transferring into the department's various programs.

Additional background information, the philosophy, and goals of the ETSU Engineering Technology off-campus cohorts can be found on the department's "Off-Campus Cohorts" page.
