Summary Descriptions of Engineering Technology Fields

Construction Management Technology Think: construction, the biggest industry in the U.S. • Build buildings, bridges, highways, tunnels, and dams • Develop methods to build better and faster • Design construction structures to get the job done • Advance the U.S. infrastructure through construction innovation	Electrical Engineering Technology Think: application of up-to-date electrical and electronic theory • Apply knowledge to maintain complex power systems • Keep industries running efficiently with modern control systems • Applying advanced electronic equipment to improve manufacturing production systems
Mechanical Engineering Technology Think: design and build, conserve energy, help others, have fun • Design a useful item and "see" it in a computeraided-design program • Calculate what a paper mill or a friend can do to save the most on heating costs • Work with others to make snowmobiles fuel efficient and environmentally friendly	Surveying Engineering Technology Think: create accurate mapping records using modern equipment and information systems • Create digital map products from modern field surveys • Advance land records using modern field technologies • Design field survey procedures to meet current standards • Develop automated field-to-finish procedures to enhance modern land information systems.
