Accreditation. The Electronic Engineering Technology program is accredited by

the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.

Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) is a technological field requiring the ap-

plication of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods, combined with technical skills, in support of engineering activities. An electronic engineering technologist

is a person who is knowledgeable in electronics theory and design and who

understands state-of-the-art practices in digital and analog circuits and systems.

Computers, controls/automation, robotics, instrumentation, and communications

are just a few fields open to engineering technologists.

It is for students interested in fields such as electrical engineering.

The University offers a bachelor of science (BS) in electronics engineering technology.

This program provides the knowledge, skills, and management experience needed for technical and professional careers in instrumentation and control, technical sales and field services, electronics manufacturing, and electrical power operations.

Each student's program of study is arranged in a logical sequence, with study moving from the most basic concepts through highly technical principles. Several professional courses are offered to assist in the development of managerial skills.

Coursework includes study in the following areas:

• Electronics technology or computer hardware technology, including concepts such as fundamentals, circuits and circuit design, digital fundamentals, solid state electronics, industrial control, microprocessors, and automation
• Mathematics, computer fundamentals, and/or science

Ideal for problem-solvers, the Electrical & Computer Engineering Technology, B.S. will help you become an inventor and innovator who can design, build, and refine new applications and systems.

You’ll receive a well-rounded education, focused on creative and critical thinking, in both the computer and electrical applications areas. Your courses will span everything from electronics and control systems technology to programming techniques with Java, HTML, and Assembly languages.

You’ll learn how to apply techniques and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve engineering problems and lead a technical team as a strong communicator and project manager. Throughout, you’ll undertake real-world projects and case studies, and gain extensive laboratory practice in circuit design, implementation, testing, and simulation.

The Electronics Engineering Technology program will prepare you to enter the fast paced electronics and product development field. Our program uses lab work and student projects to provide the practical, hands-on experience employers want.  You will learn how electronic devices work, power distribution, PLCs, controls, circuit boards, and how to manage projects.
