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. An informational meeting will be held on Thursday, April 9th, at 6:30 p.m. in the College Center Building of the Walters State Community College campus (located off Davy Crockett Parkway, Morristown, TN). 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:
    •  Biomedical;
    •  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 with existing, transferrable A.A.S. (2-year technical) degrees within the Morristown, Greeneville, Jefferson City region, 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 Walters State campus) or via through realtime or asynchronous methods (e.g., interactive Internet two-way video classroom conferencing or traditional on-line courses).

If you are interested in joining an Engineering Technology cohort, please
contact Mr. Bob Dixon, the on-site ETSU cohort coordinator,
by phone at (423) 318-2758 or by E-mail at bob.dixon@ws.edu.

Walters State Cohort Program Overview

ETSU, in partnership with Walters State Community College (WSCC), has successfully offer an on-site 2+2 transfer program for a B.S. in Engineering Technology with a concentration in either Industrial Technology (IT) or Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MET). As with previous cohorts established with other community college partners (e.g., Pellissippi State), as the Walters State /ETSU cohort relationship matures, ETSU will consider offering other cohort programs in one or more Engineering Technology programs or expand to other disciplines offered by the College of Business & Technology.

Transfer InIt 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.

CohortsAdditional 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.
