Abstract
This paper describes a new Master of Science in Engineering Technology program at Drexel University. The goal of the program is to develop advanced level practitioners in industry who are interested in developing marketable skills to meet evolving workforce demands, seeking professional development, expanding opportunities for professional advancement, or pursuing a managerial position. To support this goal, the emphasis is on the applied aspects of the technological spectrum, such as product improvement, industrial practices, and engineering technology operation. The curriculum is multidisciplinary, and includes core courses in such areas as modern materials, rapid prototyping, programmable devices and systems, modern energy conversion technologies, sensors, measurements and microfabrication. In addition to these core courses, electives are offered in areas such as reliability engineering, lean manufacturing principles, green manufacturing, and project management. The program is designed to be extremely flexible; it permits the student to select a combination of courses relevant to individual career goals in technology or to provide the foundation for further advanced study. Both a thesis and a non-thesis (applied project) option are available. The program is currently available entirely online and several of the courses employ web-based laboratory exercises. Future plans include providing face-to-face, hybrid, and real-time videoconferencing delivery modes.
