AET prepares students for in-demand careers

If you’re looking for a lucrative, in-demand career field, consider majoring in a program in MSU’s Department of Applied Engineering Technology (AET). Our variety of associate, bachelor’s and master’s degree programs will give you the knowledge and skills to find a rewarding, good-paying job after graduation.

According to a survey of recent graduates:
  • 80 percent have full-time jobs
  • More than 70 percent were offered their current position shortly after graduating
  • 40 percent received a promotion within five years of graduating


Not only are AET graduates able to find jobs, those jobs pay well. According to the survey, graduates earn an average salary of $55,000 within five years of graduation. AET career fields also have higher entry level pay than many other fields.

AET programs are advised by a board of MSU alumni and professionals working in fields related to applied engineering technology. Their experience and insight ensure AET programs give students knowledge and skills that will give them an edge in a competitive job market. In addition, the upcoming addition of the 21st Century Center for Manufacturing Systems will bolster the program’s already relevant hands-on experiential opportunities in robotics, automation, engineering design, sustainable energy, engineering technology and engineering management with the latest industry-leading technology.

No matter what kind of degree you are looking for, the Department of Applied Engineering and Technology has an academic program to set you on the path towards a successful, rewarding career.  Visit the AET website for more information.
