Engineering vs. Engineering Technology

Engineering is typically using math, science, and so forth to create solutions for problems. We differ from scientists in that we use their work to solve real-world problems. Engineering technology focuses on the technology that supports engineering (perhaps over-simplified) and tend to be generalists. Engineering technologists usually support engineers.

To expand on Mr. Clay's comment, engineering training tends to be more theoretical I.e.: book knowledge), and engineering technology training is more practical (I.e.: hands-on). If you look at the ET curriculum, they have more labs.
That said, some companies consider ET degrees "less than" regular engineering degrees ( i.e.: less "title" and less pay).
If you rather doing the work with your own hands than "thinking it", an ET degree might be for you ...but there is no reason you can't do the work yourself if you get a "regular" engineering degree.

In some states, engineering technology degrees are not accepted in order to sit for the NCEES Professional Engineer exam. If you think you will ever want to be a licensed engineer (a.k.a. the person who literally signs off on designs for buildings, systems, bridges, etc.) then you should consider pursuing a bachelor's of science in engineering instead of an engineering technology degree.

Both degrees will certainly open many doors to you, and I encourage you to read up on some of the differences and links from the previous answers to this question to decide which would be a better fit for you!
