We, the undersigned, ask that you vote against the proposal to eliminate the Engineering Technology department within the College of Engineering and Computer Science. We believe that the programs offered are unique within the state and provide UCF students with a valuable opportunity to graduate with the skills necessary to achieve success in today's IT and related technical fields. Some of the programs are available to students online, allowing individuals from around the world to be part of our UCF community; where are these Knights of the distant realms to go In addition, these programs have been in strong demand, and there is no reason to believe that enrollment will decrease within the foreseeable future. For these reasons, we ask that you cast your vote against eliminating the Engineering Technology department and the programs that it offers.

The persistence of this department remains vital for our students and the broader technical community. I am currently compiling the feedback provided by current graduates to present as a formal testimony before the administration.

The momentum behind this effort has grown beyond my initial expectations. It is clear that the Engineering Technology programs provide essential value that resonates across our entire community. This level of engagement ensures that our case remains strong as we move forward.

This makes zero sense. The job market for this degree is huge right now. dont kill the program just because of some budget spreadsheet.

Keep the department open. These degrees are exactly what employers are looking for.

UCF needs to keep these programs. I learned more practical skills here than in any of my other classes.
