Student Performance and Achievement Information

The UW-Platteville Department of Applied Engineering Technology Management is accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE), the nationwide accreditor for technology and applied engineering degree programs. Information about the Association of Technology, Management and Applied Engineering can be found at www.atmae.org.

Most enrollments in the Engineering Technology Management and Construction Management majors come from internal transfers from other majors. New Freshman cohorts typically measure graduation rates Therefore, a more accurate and secure representation would be our overall campus graduation rates which can be viewed on the UW-System Progress and Completion dashboard.

Time to Complete Degree 

On average, students starting as new freshmen who earned a Construction Management degree took approximately 8 terms/4 years, and for an Engineering Technology Management degree, approximately 9 terms/4.5 years on average. This is extremely like the other UW schools with programs in these categories. For Engineering Technology Management especially, the substantial number of internal transfer students from other majors may impact the average time to degree, as students who change their major often take longer to complete a degree as their course sequencing is interrupted.

Scholarships

The AETM department has an extensive list of scholarships. The department maintains a scholarship committee for both CM and ETM. It is a joint committee represented by both departments. The process for awarding scholarships starts in January and is completed by the beginning of May each academic year.

The Department of Applied Engineering and Technology Management is committed to supporting student success through comprehensive scholarship opportunities. Our university employs a streamlined application process designed to maximize student access to financial aid while ensuring appropriate awards to qualified recipients.

Students submit a single scholarship application, which automatically matches them to all scholarships for which they meet the basic eligibility requirements. Upon submission, students receive a personalized list of "recommended opportunities" - scholarships they are eligible for, but which require additional documentation or materials to complete their application. These additional requirements may include letters of recommendation, supplemental essays, or other supporting materials that allow scholarship committees to make final award determinations.

Scope of Available Opportunities

UW-Platteville provides scholarships specifically available to students majoring??? in Applied Engineering and Technology Management. These departmental scholarships complement additional funding opportunities available to students through their enrollment in the College of Business, Industries, Life Sciences, and Agriculture (BILSA), as well as university-wide scholarship programs. This multi-tiered approach ensures that our students have access to the broadest possible range of financial support throughout their academic journey.

Employment

The following information is from our 2022-2024 First Destination Placement Survey. Read about the First Destination Placement Reporting.

Construction Management and Engineering Technology Management graduates have a higher placement rate than BILSA graduates and the overall main campus undergraduate population. They are also more likely to be employed than continue their education, in comparison.
