    Who qualifies for a masters in Automotive Engineering?
    Would a Mechanical Engineer or B.S in Engineering Technology do it?

    Generally, masters degrees in engineering required an ABET accredited bachelors in engineering (not engineering technology).

    Please to check?

    Graduate Program | Kettering University

    This is my former employer (and my Alma mater).

    I think in some companies will do.

    When I say Engineering Technology I'm referring to a bachelors in Engineering Technology with maybe focus on electrical or mechanical.

    "The" program is at University of North Carolina - Charlotte. Of course, it's not distance, but you are in NASCAR heaven. UNC Charlotte Motorsports Engineering | UNC Charlotte Motorsports Engineering | UNC Charlotte
    Proud to say my son is attending the "pre-motorsports engineering" summer camp next week. He hopes to attend that exact program.

    The exact admissions requirements for an Automotive Engineering MS program would vary by program; the most prestigious programs will have the toughest requirements, and less well known programs will be looser. In general, they probably want to see an ABET-accredited BS degree in mechanical engineering, or maybe electrical engineering, along with some previous coursework or experience that is relevant to automotive design issues.

    In general, they are probably not looking for degrees in engineering technology. ABET accreditation will not help in this case; ABET does accredit technology programs, but they get a different kind of accreditation than engineering programs.

    Engineering technology does usually not lead to study beyond the Bachelor's level (in fact, many people in technology programs stop at the Associate's level). There are relatively few Master's programs in engineering technology. There are lots of Master's programs in engineering, but they typically have a strong preference for engineering degrees over technology degrees. I wouldn't say that it's impossible to get an engineering MS with a technology BS, but it's relatively uncommon.
