What is the difference between electrical engineering and electrical engineering technology?
My understanding is that engineering degrees are more theory based and engineering technology degrees are more application based. It isn't a complete distinction between theory and application since there is always some overlap but this was the main distinction when I attended ITT Technical institute's Electronics Engineering Technology program.

This is also one of the main differences cited by ABET which accredits some of these programs: 


  Engineering and engineering technology are separate but closely
  related professional areas that differ in:
  
  Curricular Focus –
  Engineering programs often focus on theory and conceptual design,
  while engineering technology programs usually focus on application and
  implementation. Engineering programs typically require additional,
  higher-level mathematics, including multiple semesters of calculus and
  calculus-based theoretical science courses, while engineering
  technology programs typically focus on algebra, trigonometry, applied
  calculus, and other courses that are more practical than theoretical
  in nature.


Another area that can differ is career path.
