Date of last update 9/1/2009
Description The Rubber Engineering Technology program was started in 1998 based on an urgent need in the rubber industry for technically trained personnel. It is the only Rubber Engineering Technology bachelor's degree program in the United States, so many companies are competing for these graduates. Approximately one million people across the country work in the rubber industry, making it one of our largest employers. This innovative program provides students with a diversified background that includes advanced coursework in the mixing and testing of rubber compounds for industry standards, the processing of rubber compounds into finished products that meet customer requirements, product and mold design, and materials selection and properties. Classes emphasize hands-on learning, using the same type of equipment that is currently used in industry.
