Academic Programs
Programs in the Division of Engineering Technology
Director: Jerry Samples
The Bachelor of Science in engineering technology programs are offered exclusively at Pitt-Johnstown. The Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical programs are accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org. The Computer Engineering Technology program will undergo the ABET accreditation process after the graduation of the first class sometime after the spring of 2014. Students admitted to the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown as freshmen spend all four years at Pitt-Johnstown if they major in engineering technology, or they relocate to the campus in Pittsburgh after one year if they choose engineering. Students may transfer to Pitt-Johnstown for engineering technology after one or two years of study at the Pittsburgh, Bradford, Greensburg, or Titusville campuses. Students from accredited associate degree programs in engineering technology are also encouraged to matriculate to Pitt-Johnstown. Credits from institutions not accredited by ABET will not be directly accepted; however, credit by examination is an option.
Both engineering technologists and engineers make significant contributions to the constant quest for better material products, more effective methods of solving society’s technology-related problems, and better ways of using technology to promote understanding among people. Pitt-Johnstown’s programs in engineering technology prepare men and women to improve the quality of life by organizing individuals, materials, and equipment to manufacture products, erect buildings, construct and operate transportation systems, generate and distribute power, and solve other difficult engineering problems. Engineering technologists are also responsible for existing technologies—nuclear, automotive, aircraft, chemical production, environmental, electronic, power generation, and others. Application-oriented, they bring important management and technological knowledge to the task of operating industries and businesses related to technology. With this knowledge, they transform ideas into products and processes—and then strive to improve them.
Division Policies and Requirements
To be recommended for graduation, a candidate must:
- complete all required courses with passing grades;
- earn the total number of credits required by his or her major area;
- attain a minimum cumulative quality point average of 2.00 in:
- all courses on his or her University of Pittsburgh record;
- his or her major area (CET, CPET, EET, or MET);
- complete the senior year (at least 30 credits) while registered in the Division of Engineering Technology. (Exceptions to this requirement may be granted for a limited number of credits by a student’s department head.)
Note: Advanced standing credits count toward graduation requirements but are not included in QPA computation.
Mathematics Grade Requirements
A grade of C- or better is required in MATH 0221 and MATH 0231 before taking the next course in the sequence. A grade of D or less requires that these courses be repeated.
Academic Discipline
The academic record of each student enrolled in the Division of Engineering Technology is reviewed at the conclusion of the fall and spring terms of the academic year. In order to be classified in satisfactory academic standing, engineering technology students with full-time status must:
- earn a minimum of 24 credits per academic year (12 credits for the year of admission for students admitted in the Spring Term)
- have a minimum cumulative QPA of 2.00 overall and in their major area (CET, CPET, EET, or MET). Division of Engineering Technology students who fail to achieve the criteria for satisfactory academic standing will be placed on academic probation and are subject to dismissal from the division.
A student’s cumulative QPA is determined by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of credits that were assigned quality grades. Only credits and quality points for courses taken at the University of Pittsburgh are used in calculation of the QPA. All courses (with the exception of ET, CET, EET (CPET takes EET seminar), and MET seminars) must be taken for quality grades; H, S, or U grades will not be approved for any courses (other than the exceptions noted earlier) that are intended to satisfy graduation requirements of the Division of Engineering Technology.
Changes in Concentration
Division of Engineering Technology students whose academic record satisfies the minimum requirements for continued registration may transfer from one engineering technology program (civil, computer, electrical, or mechanical) to another, or change their registration status from full time to part time or from part time to full time. A form, Change Request for Program, Plan or Advisor, available in the Division of Engineering Technology office, should be completed to initiate a change of program, advisor or change of registration status.
Statute of Limitations
All required academic work for the Bachelor of Science in engineering technology degree, including courses for which advanced-standing credit has been granted, must be completed within 12 consecutive calendar years. Under unusual circumstances, a student may, with the approval of his/her program head, request a waiver of this policy by writing to the director of engineering technology. In effect, this policy means that part-time students must progress toward the degree at a minimum rate of 12 credits per calendar year.
Academic Minor
In addition to an academic major, a student may elect to pursue a minor in another academic discipline. The specific requirements for each minor are established by the individual academic disciplines. However, all minors require the completion of a minimum of 18 credits of course work.

Division Policies and Requirements
- Candidates for graduation in Humanities must have earned a minimum of 120 credits. Of the 120, a maximum of 12 credits may be earned in other programs of the University (e.g., education) or in courses offered for the convenience of students with particular professional goals (e.g., chemistry for nursing).
- The final 30 credits MUST be earned at Johnstown.
- Degree candidates must have a quality point average of 2.00 (C average) or higher in all work at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown or at the University’s other campuses.
- The courses required for a major must be completed with a minimum quality point average of 2.00.
- Completion of no fewer than 12 credits in a related area is required in certain major programs. Consultation with an advisor will determine a student’s responsibility in this matter. A related area must be approved by a student’s major advisor.
- A satisfactory level of competence in English Composition must be demonstrated by the successful completion of English Composition 0005 and English Composition 0006.
- A student may earn no more than two credits in Physical Education per term, to a maximum of eight during his or her entire scholastic career at Pitt-Johnstown. Only the first four Physical Education credits are counted as being in Arts and Sciences; any additional credits are considered as non-Arts and Sciences.
- Majors in Humanities may not elect the H/S/U option for courses in their major.
- All students entering after September 2001 must meet general education requirements in addition to major requirements by earning at least 12 credits in the social sciences and the natural sciences. The 12 credits in each of these divisions must be distributed in the manner listed previously in this bulletin.
Additional Requirements
In addition to the above credits, each Humanities major must complete the following requirements along with major course requirements:
- Each major must take courses in four prescribed areas common to all Humanities degrees:
