September 23-27

"He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

Isaiah 40:29-31

What is an Engineering Technologist?

Engineering Technology is a branch of engineering that focuses on using scientific and engineering principles to solve real-world problems through practical, hands-on applications. While traditional engineering might involve designing and creating new technologies, engineering technology focuses more on how to use, improve, and maintain those technologies.

Engineers are inventors, designing new ideas for machines, bridges, or software.
Engineering technologists are skilled problem solvers, they figure out how to make sure those inventions work in the real world. They know how to operate the machines, troubleshoot problems, and improve designs to make them more efficient.
