Electrical Engineering Technology Degree
Program:
Associate in Applied
Science
The
Electrical Engineering Technology associate degree curriculum
combines broad electrical fundamental coursework with a rigorous
laboratory focus. All of the nine required EET courses have an
associated laboratory component. While mastering the analysis
and design techniques of electric and electronic circuits and
systems in the classroom, students learn to interpret schematics,
construct circuits, correctly select, apply and operate electronic
measuring instruments in the laboratory.
Students
interested in the electrical, electronic, or computer fields,
and who prefer applying established technology to solve current
technical problems, should consider this program. Electrical engineering
technicians are employed in product evaluation and testing, power
generation and transmission, instrumentation installation and
calibration, and computer data acquisition and control.
Work
activities are generally instrument oriented and range from research
and development, production design, operation and maintenance,
to applications and sales. Upon completion of the associate degree
(AAS) in Electrical Engineering Technology, students may elect
to continue their education toward the baccalaureate degree in
Electrical Engineering Technology and complete both degrees in
four years.
