Transfer Student Information
There are two types of transfer students: internal from another NJIT department and external from a community college. The Engineering Technology Department has a long association with New Jersey Community Colleges and still most of our students are external transfers. We also have numerous internal transfers from such departments as ECE, MIE, CEE, and School of Architecture.
As soon as possible after joining ET, a transfer student should meet the appropriate Program Coordinator/Advisor to make sure s/he has credits previously earned properly entered in the NJIT transcript. Occasionally, the system does not recognize transfer credit and this may cause problems in terms of pre-requisites.
A student transferring from a community college does not have grades transferred while an internal transfer does. Grades from courses earned in another program may be excluded from the cumulative GPA calculation if the courses are not used in your ET program.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between engineering and engineering technology?
Both are engineering disciplines but engineering is more theoretical and slightly more mathematical. ET is more ‘hands-on’ with much more laboratory work in the classes. The jobs attained are relatively the same with similar titles with engineers more likely to go into design. - What are the graduate school opportunities for ET alumni?
Our graduates go on for MS degrees in the various departments at NJIT and other universities. The most popular MS at NJIT is Engineering Management and many of our graduates go into that. For an engineering MS such as EE or ME, depending on a student’s final GPA, a student may need a few bridge courses before admission. There are several universities throughout the country that offer MS degrees in engineering technology but not NJIT at this time. - Are ET graduates allowed to attain a professional engineer’s license?
For graduates of the ABET accredited programs (CET, ECET, MET, and SET) definitely yes. A PE license looks very good on a resume. - How often should I see my Program Coordinator/Advisor?
About once a year. You should be updating your curriculum check sheet as you progress through the program but you need to periodically see your Advisor so that there are no surprises when it is time for you to take senior project or when think you are near graduation. - Does NJIT give credit for life experience or work experience?
In general no, NJIT only gives credit for a formal Co-op or internship performed while you are an NJIT student.

About the Program
The greatest current need of U.S. education is for highly qualified teachers of science and technology at the secondary school level. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the shortage will intensify over the next decade as teachers of the “baby boom” generation retire. Technology-savvy teachers who are able to incorporate newly-developing educational methodologies and technologies into the curriculum are also in high demand.
Technology teachers teach problem-based learning utilizing math, science and technology principles. Technological studies involve students:
- Designing, developing, and utilizing technological systems such as communication, transportation, manufacturing, and construction technologies.
- Performing open-ended, problem-based design activities.
- Learning cognitive, manipulative, and affective learning strategies.
- Applying technological knowledge and processes to real world experiences using up-to-date resources.
- Working individually as well as in a team to solve problems (International Technology Education Association Standards).
Students may enter this program as a freshman, or transfer into this program from an Engineering Technology or Pre-Engineering program at a two year college. The program consists of 120 credits, with over 37 credits of education at Rutgers University, Newark, including one semester of student teaching. This program will cover material in a variety of Engineering Technology disciplines and utilize the NJIT Makerspace.
Candidates for a teacher-education certificate must have a 2.8 cumulative grade point average to successfully complete their teacher education program. They also must pass the appropriate PRAXIS examination before the New Jersey State Department of Education will issue the appropriate certificate.
