What kind of career opportunities are there for Bachelor of Technology graduates as compared with engineering degree graduates?
A Bachelor of Technology education differs from an engineering education in that it is more “hands-on” and places a greater emphasis on applications of scientific and engineering principles and developing practical skills and techniques. A technologist would typically be more interested in “how” such principles are applied rather than in understanding “why”. Careers in technology usually involve more targeted problem solving in an applications context. Career opportunities for graduates of each of the programs are outlined below.
