Ralph W. Whalin Technology Complex

The Department is located in the Ralph W. Whalin Technology Complex, which includes approximately 100,000 square feet of classroom and laboratory space.

Laboratories housed in the Whalin Complex include automation, 3D printing/prototyping, robotics, electronics, computer aided drafting (CAD), flight simulators, quality assurance and metrology, materials and metallic processes, construction estimating, fluid power, networking, cyber security and computer applications.

The facilities are located in the central portion of campus and are close to the library, classroom buildings, and dormitories.

We have earned continuous ATMAE accreditation for our Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree programs for several decades. The B.S. and A.A.S. degree programs in the ATMAE 2023-29 reaccreditation are offered through either the Department of Applied Engineering and Technology (AET), formerly the Department of Technology, or the Department of Computer Science & Information Technology (CSIT).

Hannah Murphy
EKU Animal and Veterinary Studies Graduate
I have gained confidence in myself and knowledge through learning for my degree. I wasn’t sure if I was going down the right degree pathway but now I cannot wait to begin a future with the job opportunities my degree will give me!
Madeline Bentsen
EKU Forensic Science Graduate
The faculty was tough and fair, they wanted me to succeed and they pushed me to think critically and logically. However, they were very understanding and cared deeply for their students. They helped to prepare me for the field of forensics and helped me strengthen my weaknesses.
Brad Rich
EKU Forensic Science Graduate
The thing that I feel like many people, including myself, find surprising about the program is how encompassing it is. It’s not all chemistry or biology but also public speaking and critical thinking incorporated with mock trial and capstone that truly prepare you for the field of forensic science. After graduating I realized just how well I was prepared by the faculty in my program, making the transition from education to career seamless.
