The four-year B.S. Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program prepares students for careers in many fields related to engineering, in electronics or computer related industries, manufacturing, engineering sales, or any industry that uses electric power, electronic communications, computer networks, or computer-controlled equipment. The program provides students with advanced study in specialized fields of electronics and computer networking and provides other courses to build a foundation of technical and non-technical knowledge that is essential in modern industry.

The Computer, Electrical, and Information Technology (CEIT) department also offers the Bachelor of Science with a major in computer engineering technology (CPET), an Associate of Science in EET, and a Bachelor of Science with a major in information technology (ITC). In addition to the degrees, the department offers a minor in electronics and certificate programs in computer-controlled systems, electronic communications, power electronics systems, and computer networking.

To earn the degree, you must fulfill the requirements of IPFW (Regulations)  and of the College of Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science (Colleges ); and complete the following courses earning grades of C- or better in all Core and Advanced Core Courses, Technical Electives, and General Education Requirements:
