Description:

The Electronics Engineering Technology curriculum prepares individuals to become technicians who design, build, install, test, troubleshoot, repair, and modify developmental and production electronic components, equipment, and systems such as industrial/computer controls, manufacturing systems, communication systems, and power electronic systems.

A broad-based core of courses, including basic electricity, solid-state fundamentals, digital concepts, and microprocessors, ensures the student will develop the skills necessary to perform entry-level tasks.  Emphasis is placed on developing the student’s ability to analyze and troubleshoot electronic systems.

Graduates should qualify for employment as engineering assistants or electronic technicians with job titles such as electronics engineering technician, field service technician, maintenance technician, electronic tester, electronic systems integrator, bench technician, and production control technician.

Students who desire to pursue a BS degree in any engineering technology field are strongly recommended to:  (a) Substitute MAT 175 for MAT 121, (b) Select SOC 210 and HUM 211 for the Social/Behavioral Sciences and Humanities/Fine Arts electives and (c) Substitute PHY 151 and 152 for PHY 131 and 132.
