Technology and engineering programs often include standard scientific classes as well as hands-on experiences in networking, computer programming, and standard engineering techniques. These skills can be applied in a future engineering, technology, or manufacturing career.

A bachelor's degree is given to students who fulfill the necessary requirements given by the college or university they are attending. The requirements include three to seven years of focus on a subject, typically referred to as a major or concentration.
