The way I understand it, engineering technology is a sort of a 'middleman' between 'conventional' engineers and those producing the products those engineers engineer such as machinists. It's usually a two-year associates degree and is a balance between a skilled trade and the theory behind it. Sort of a 'hands-on' engineer. I know a former FIRST participant in the mechanical engineering technology program because she doesn't want to sit at a desk all day long, she wants to actually 'make stuff'. Seems to be an interesting program and something to look into.
