Discover Engineering Technology
Unsure of where to start your path in Engineering Technology? You are in good company.
As a member of the Discover Engineering Technology program at the University of Dayton, you will be able to explore the academic programs in the School of Engineering before finalizing your major.
You'll be enrolled in a specially designed seminar course that offers an introduction to the division, its faculty, curriculum, opportunities for graduates, and the various policies and procedures necessary for the successful student to follow. This seminar provides information on cooperative education and internship opportunities, as well as extracurricular options. The classes are small, and the attention is as individual as needed. With the help of this seminar, along with the assistance of your knowledgeable adviser, you will discover the area of engineering technology that's right for you.

Engineering Minors and ConcentrationsResearchers at the University of Dayton are working on a refrigerator that can cool without electricity. The project was started by students in UD’s ETHOS program and mentored by faculty members, Dr. Amy Ciric and Dr. Jun-Ki Choi. The solar-thermal adsorptive refrigeration (STAR) system uses inexpensive, non-toxic and environmentally-friendly materials to provide cooling for vaccines.
