Electrical Engineering Technology graduates find employment opportunities in the design, manufacturing and maintenance of everything from nano-bots to supercomputers. Many industries employ electrical engineering technicians including bio-medical, robotics, controls, telecommunication, utilities, audio and consumer electronics, and manufacturing and service of every kind.

Program Outcomes:

Graduates of the Program will be able to:

  • Apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined ET activities.
  • Apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge.
  • Conduct standard tests and measurements, and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments.
  • Function effectively as a member of a technical team.
  • Identify, analyze, and solve narrowly defined engineering technology problems.
  • Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in technical and non-technical environments; and  identify and use appropriate technical literature.
  • Understand the need for and be able to engage in self-directed continuing professional development. 8) Understand and commit to addressing professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity.
  • Commit to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.
  • Apply circuit analysis and design, computer programming, associated software, analog and digital electronics, and microcomputers, and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems.
  • Apply physics or chemistry to electrical/electronic(s) circuits in a rigorous mathematical environment at or above the level of algebra and trigonometry.
