Mechanical or manufacturing engineering technology graduates work in teams to develop equipment, machines, processes and tools to make quality products at reasonable costs. It often involves electronics and electric power; engineering graphics, materials and mechanics; and hydraulics and pneumatics. 

Construction engineering technology involves managing and converting engineering plans and specifications into finished structures. Some in this field focus on residential and other building structures, while others work on bridge, highway or underground projects. They apply their knowledge to many aspects of construction, including cost estimating, labor management, materials specification and estimating, overall planning, and phased construction plans. 

Graduates use the principles and theories of science, engineering and mathematics to solve technical problems in construction, inspection, manufacturing, maintenance, research and development, and sales. This track allows students to choose from a wide variety of engineering technology electives to create a customized study plan. 

Graduates of this track work in analog and digital design, digital communications, microprocessor hardware and software applications, and network administration. They have a strong knowledge of hardware and software and how the two interact. They also might design, install, maintain and operate computer systems, as well as perform programming and systems analysis, or be involved in robotics.
