Bachelor of Science in Engineering vs Bachelor of Technology in Engineering
In general, Science has more of a math requirement than Technology but that is not always the case.
You have to look at each schools curriculum. Nomenclature can be misleading! Some Technology Degree's have a considerable math requirement.
Forty years ago Bachelor of Science was, in general, felt to be more credible than the Bachelor of Technology but the "professional jealousy" has long evaporated. Now they are accepted as being professionally equal.
If you want more hands on experience, go for technology. If you are thinking about grad school, Science is the better choice!
Hope this helps,
