Electrical Engineering Technology (EET)

Course Description for Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology

(Bachelor of Science Degree Offered)
Electrical Engineering Technology is a branch of engineering education that emphasizes the practical aspects of engineering rather than abstract concepts or theories. It is a blend of the application of science, engineering knowledge, and technical skills used in support of engineering activities.

Electronics is a relatively new science, but it has given birth to an industrial giant. Computers, medical electronics, automation, communications, instrumentation, radar, and robotics are but a few of the fields based on electronics.

This demand has created a need for electrical engineering technologists in all phases of development, design, production, maintenance, and troubleshooting. This need is being met by graduates of the bachelor degree program in electrical engineering technology.

*If courses other than Physics are used to satisfy Area D, Lab Science, it is recommended that you discuss course options with your assigned faculty advisor or the ECET department head prior to taking the annotated courses.
 
Since Physics I and II are requirements for the degree, it is strongly recommended that they be taken to satisfy the Lab Science component of Area D of the Core Curriculum It is also recommended that you discuss Lab Science options with your assigned faculty advisor or the ECET department head. For more information about Areas C, D, and E courses, see the "Core Curriculum" section under "Admission Information."
