Electrical Engineering Technology is part of the School of Polytechnic .  Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program is a combination of courses in electricity, electronics, computers, mathematics, science, and general academic areas. The program helps students prepare for employment as electrical/electronic or computer technicians,and provides knowledge in fields such as computer electronics, local area networking, industrial electronics, communication electronics, military electronics, automation, electronics servicing, and electrical power.  The program prepares students for the application of engineering principles and technological developments for the creation of useful products and process in electrical and electronic systems. Similar to electrical engineering, EET deals with the implementation design, application, installation, manufacturing, operation or maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems.  Upon completion of the A.S. EET, all credits can be applied to B.S. EET.

Program Educational Objectives:

Upon completion of the Electrical Engineering Technology (A.S.), students will demonstrate an ability to:

1. apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
2. design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
3. apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
4. conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
5. function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

• an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve well-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline
• an ability to design solutions for well-defined technical problems and assist with the engineering design of systems, components, or processes appropriate to the discipline
• an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in well-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature
• an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results; and
• an ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team.

Program Delivery:

• POLYTECHNIC programs emphasize practice-based learning via hands-on laboratory applications using state-of-the-art equipment. Some courses are available through online, distance, and hybrid learning, however many incorporate an on-campus laboratory element.

Declaring This Major:

Students interested in declaring Electrical Engineering Technology as their major may do so in one of two ways:

• On their application when they first apply to the university.
• After meeting with a faculty advisor, a change of major can be declared.
