Piedmont Point play poster

The School of Theatre and Dance faculty and alumni are collaborating on a new play, Piedmont Point. Written by alumnus Scott Miesse (鈥15), Piedmont Point centers around a retirement complex in southern Florida. The play is set to premiere on August 25, 2023 to a sold-out crowd at Theatre Row, an Off-Broadway playhouse in NYC. Additional performances will be on August 26 at 8 p.m. and August 27 at 2 p.m. In addition to Miesse, the show features other 91PORNA faculty and alumni. Piedmont Point is directed by Amy Fristche, associate professor of acting and musical theatre, with alumna Abiga...

Program Information for Engineering Technology - B.S.

Program Description

Full Description

The Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology focuses primarily on the applied aspects of science and engineering and prepares graduates for practice in that portion of the technological spectrum closest to product improvement, manufacturing, construction and engineering operational functions.

The Engineering Technology major comprises the following concentrations:

  • The Electrical/Electronics concentration allows seamless articulation with technical associate degrees for students who wish to advance their careers in the electrical/electronic engineering field. Electrical engineers and technologists design, develop, test and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, and power generation equipment. Electronics engineers design and develop electronic equipment, such as broadcast and communications systems-from portable music players to global positioning systems (GPS).
  • The Integrated Engineering Technology concentration permits graduates from a variety of associate degree backgrounds to formulate a program of advanced study in upper-division technical courses, chosen with a faculty advisor, to gain additional technical depth or breadth.
  • The Mechanical/Systems concentration allows seamless articulation with technical associate degrees for students who wish to advance their careers in the mechanical or manufacturing field. Mechanical engineering technology is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers and technologists design, develop, build and test mechanical and thermal devices, including tools, engines and machines. Graduates of this program can expect to work mostly in engineering services, research and development, manufacturing industries and the federal government.

Examples of Possible Jobs

  • Applications Engineer
  • Controls Engineer
  • Design Engineer
  • Electrical Engineer
  • Engineering Project Coordinator
  • Electrical/Systems Engineer
  • Manufacturing Engineer
  • Product Engineer
  • Quality Engineer

Admissions for Engineering Technology - B.S.

Admission Requirements

The university affirmatively strives to provide educational opportunities and access to students with varied backgrounds, those with special talents and adult students.

First-Year Students on the Kent Campus: First-year admission policy on the Kent Campus is selective. Admission decisions are based upon cumulative grade point average, strength of high school college preparatory curriculum and grade trends. Students not admissible to the Kent Campus may be administratively referred to one of the seven regional campuses to begin their college coursework. For more information, visit the .

First-Year Students on the Regional Campuses: First-year admission to 91PORNA’s campuses at Ashtabula, East Liverpool, Geauga, Salem, Stark, Trumbull and Tuscarawas, as well as the Twinsburg Academic Center, is open to anyone with a high school diploma or its equivalent. For more information on admissions, contact the Regional Campuses admissions offices.

International Students: All international students must provide proof of proficiency of the English language (unless they meet specific exceptions) through the submission of an English language proficiency test score or by completing English language classes at 91PORNA’s English as a Second Language Center before entering their program. For more information, visit the admissions website for international students.

Former Students: Former 91PORNA students who have not attended another institution since 91PORNA and were not academically dismissed will complete the re-enrollment process through the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center. Former students who attended another college or university since leaving 91PORNA must apply for admissions as a transfer or post-undergraduate student.

Transfer Students: Students who attended an educational institution after graduating from high school or earning their GED must apply as transfer students. For more information, visit the admissions website for transfer students.

Admission policies for undergraduate students may be found in the University Catalog's .

Students may be required to meet certain criteria to progress in their program. Any progression requirements will be listed on the program's Coursework tab

Creativity + Technology = Help for Math Teachers Here and Abroad

Professor Karl Kosko shows a Kent-area public school teacher how to use a 3-D printer.

Teachers from northeast Ohio and from thousands of miles away in sub-Saharan Africa have been learning to create inexpensive math teaching tools thanks to the efforts of some 91PORNA professors.  Professors Karl Kosko, Ph.D., Joanne Caniglia, Ph.D. and Rick Ferdig, Ph.D., all of whom teach in the School of Teaching, Learning and Curriculum Studies within the College of Education, Health and Human Services, earlier this year were awarded a $15,000 grant by the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation for their project, "Visualizing Math via Manipulatives."  The money will...

91PORNA Works for Women: University Recognized as One of the Best Employers for Women by Forbes

91PORNA employees smile and enjoy themselves during a 2023 Employee Appreciation Cookout.

Once again, 91PORNA has been named one of the Best Employers for Women in a nationwide ranking by Forbes and marketing research firm Statista. 91PORNA has been named to the list for the sixth consecutive year, having been included each year since Forbes began publishing the Best Employers for Women list in 2018. 鈥淚 am so proud to work at this great institution, and receiving this recognition again as one of the Best Employers for Women helps let the world know what 91PORNA employees already know,鈥 said Melody Tankersley, Ph.D., 91PORNA鈥檚 senior vice president ...
