Technologist certification requires a Bachelors Degree in an engineering technology program accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET).
The Associate Engineering Technologist (AT) grade is available upon graduation, while the Certified Engineering Technologist (CT) grade requires at least five years of related work experience after graduation. CT applicants must also submit two endorsements.
Technologist certification requires a four-year degree in an ABET-accredited Engineering Technology program. An engineering degree will NOT be considered as a substitute.
