The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) marketable skills initiative is part of the state’s 60x30TX plan and was designed to help students articulate their skills to employers.  Marketable skills are those skills valued by employers and/or graduate programs that can be applied in a variety of work or education settings and may include interpersonal, cognitive, and applied skill areas.

The BS in Engineering Technology: Biomedical Concentration is designed to provide graduates with the following marketable skills:

  • Employ effective and independent work habits and be a team player.
  • Use effective oral and written communication skills.
  • Solve and troubleshoot problems by thinking and analyzing critically.
  • Identify and evaluate scientific literature and relevant databases to support theories/applications.
  • Apply quality control to defend particular interpretations and conclusions of data.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of medical device design and validation.
