The Engineering Technology program offers a bachelor of science degree in various areas of engineering technology: civil, electrical, computer, mechanical, and nuclear engineering technologies. The focus of the program is on the practical aspects rather than the theoretical aspects of engineering. Students graduating from this degree program should be able to work in the various fields as engineering technologists. Practical design, actual use, laboratory experience are important elements of the program. Because of the field-based nature of the curriculum, library use is not expected to be extensive. The library collection should be a basic collection of materials offering practical applications information in each specialization. Students wishing to explore any of the engineering technology fields further will be able to take advantage of the library’s more extensive collections in the theoretical fields of engineering and in the wide range of engineering journals which serve the graduate degree programs in engineering
Engineering technology comprises the following segments (ordered by enrollment size, from largest to smallest):
Electrical engineering technology:
circuitry and circuitry design
digital electronics
microprocessors
instrumentation
system operation
computer aided design
high frequency and microwave technology
networked systems
electrical power and machinery
microcomputer based design
linear electronics
electrical power systems
c language programming
Mechanical engineering technology:
mechanical design (drafting, etc.)
technical drawing
computer aided drafting
power and energy
manufacturing process and materials
thermodynamics and heat transfer
machine element design
fluid mechanics
FORTRAN language programming
kinematics
robotics
mechanical subsystems
internal combustion engines
automation and controls
industrial operations
computer integrated manufacturing
nuclear systems
nuclear technology
Civil engineering technology:
structural design and construction
site development
surveying
structures
hydrology and drainage
steel, concrete, masonry, and wood
design
soils and foundations
soil testing
testing and inspecting construction
materials
plans and specifications
construction planning and management
contracts
Decisions to purchase library materials to support the engineering technology programs will follow these guidelines:
Language:
English (or translation into English)
is the language of the collection.
Chronological period:
Collection emphasis is on currently
published materials on current research and development.
Geographical:
Current selection will emphasize
U.S. based materials.
Treatment:
Materials acquired will be appropriate
for the undergraduate and graduate levels. If at any time, the program
changes its emphasis to increased library over field- or lab- based research,
the library will revise its collecting guidelines to reflect the need for
more in-depth materials.
Types of material:
Emphasis is on current scholarly
monographs (including practical texts, guides, handbooks, and field manuals)
and serial materials (including conference proceedings, symposia, research
reports, and applications oriented professional journals). Electronic resources
will be selected according to funding, user demand, and research value.
Appropriate government publications will also be included, as the University
Library is a selective depository.
Date of publication:
Emphasis will be only on materials
published in the last three years.
Other general considerations:
Engineering technology is part of the Teletechnet degree program and is offered at sites throughout the state of Virginia. Materials to support that program will be acquired as funds permit through subscriptions to electronic resources and identification of Internet resources. Some electronic access to indexes of appropriate journal literature is currently provided through the VIVA program’s FirstSearch Applied Science and Technology Index.
Subject policy statements for Aerospace Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Physics are relative to this policy.
Overall goal for the Engineering
Technology collection:
Materials will be acquired to support
the instructional program.
