APS-4900 Engineering Technology Assessment/Career Planning
Engineering Technology Assessment/Career Planning is an in-depth, student-centered course that requires the integration of research in current engineering technology employment within each student's degree program. This course constitutes one of two Capstone requirements in each of three degree programs: Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology (NEET), Electronic Systems Engineering Technology (ESET), and Radiation Protection/Health Physics (RP/HP). Students will participate in career-focused activities that include engineering technology self-assessments within the student's selected discipline; practical career planning; development of a comprehensive curriculum vitae (CV); demonstration of successful interviewing techniques; application of advanced math applications to relevant engineering technology situations; and setting goals for professional continuous improvement in the student's chosen discipline. The knowledge and skills acquired in this course are directly applicable to students who are seeking a job, a promotion, or movement to a new skill area.
