Alpha Omega Epsilon and A.O.E. Foundation consider a technical science to be a discipline that is similar to an engineering discipline. The curriculum for a technical science degree would have an overlap with an engineering degree. A technical science degree must be a bachelor's of science and must be received at a college or university with an accredited program.

Degrees that qualify as technical science:

• Any college or university degree that is accredited by ABET, such as Computer Science or Math. Refer to their website at www.abet.org for further information.

Degrees that are excluded from applying:

• Life Sciences
• Medical sciences (i.e. nursing, medicine, physical therapy, sports management)
• Social Sciences (i.e. psychology)
• Veterinary or animal sciences

List of degrees that MAY or MAY NOT be eligible, based on curriculum and college/university:

• Applied Mathematics
• Architecture
• Bio-chemistry
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Physics
