Electrical Engineering Technology - Bachelor of Science, Course Descriptions
Electrical 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. Graduates of the bachelor degree program in electrical engineering technology are meeting this need.
Any non-required upper division
(3XXX/4XXX) ECET course, with the exception of ECET 3000 & 4830, may
be used as a technical elective (ECET Elective) in the EET degree program.
Students may wish to focus their technical electives in a particular area
of Electrical Engineering Technology. Suggested choices in the areas of
communications, digital, power, and telecommunications are listed below:

* 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 Chair.
PHYS 1111K for PHYS 2211K and PHYS 1112K for PHYS 2212K are allowable course substitutions.
For more information about Areas C, D, and E courses, see the "Core Curriculum" section under "Admission Information".
NOTES: EET majors are required to earn a "C" or better in their ECET courses.
