Admission to Degree Program
Each degree program in the School of Technology has specific enrollment requirements. Please see each program's admission requirements for specific details.
General Information
Student Advising
We strongly encourage students to visit with the School of Technology advisor (250 SNLB) at least every year, and preferably every semester, to ensure that they are making appropriate progress in the program and taking courses in the appropriate sequence.
Financial Support Opportunities
In addition to general university scholarships and student employment, the School of Technology offers scholarships, an academic internship program with industry, and a variety of departmental part-time jobs such as research assistant, new-product developer, lab assistant, paper grader, electronics technician, maintenance assistant, computer operator, etc.
Academic Internships
An industrial experience/internship in the major before graduation is required. Qualified students enroll in an academic internship, which must be approved before the actual experience. A formal report and employer evaluation are required.
Transfer Credit
When transferring into the school, students must meet with the School of Technology advisor before registering for classes to evaluate their technical courses and to get help in planning their schedule for completing their remaining course work.
Extracurricular Activities
Students are encouraged to join student chapters of national professional organizations affiliated with their major area of study. Student interaction, leadership, and career awareness are important to engineering and technology studies. All majors are encouraged to not only become members and actively participate in these chapters but also to support field trips, guest speakers, banquets, and program activities.
Professional Program Acceptance
Students must be accepted into the professional program before they may take upper-division courses in industrial design. Industrial design has additional restrictions that apply to major courses. (See the industrial design sections of this catalog.) A professional program application (available at http://sot.et.byu.edu/advisement/applications-and-forms) must be completed and submitted to 250 SNLB.
Students interested in declaring TEE as a major are encouraged to visit with the School of Technology advisor (250 SNLB) regarding requirements for program entrance, graduation, and licensure.
Academic Standards and Continuance
On gaining acceptance into the professional program, students must maintain a minimum university cumulative grade point average of 2.0. A professional program course may not be retaken more than once.
