Degree Program Overview

Electrical engineering technology is one of the
largest and most rapidly developing technical fields. It concerns
generating, transmitting, and utilizing electrical energy as well
as developing and manufacturing electrical, electronic, and computer
equipment and its applications in a wide variety of systems, such
as communications and process control.
Students interested in the electrical, electronics, or computer
fields, and who prefer applying established techniques to solve
current technical problems, should consider this program.
Students who pursue the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Technology are prepared to be Electrical Engineering Technologists
through a broad based educational experience that emphasizes practical,
hands-on laboratory work that is closely coordinated with theoretical
classroom discussion. Students receive a solid foundation of coursework
in electric circuits, digital electronics, solid-state electronics,
communications, power and electrical machinery. These fundamental
topics provide the groundwork for further studies in industrial
networks and control, microcomputers and microcontrollers, antennas
and wireless communication systems.
Michigan Tech's Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Technology program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(ABET). It is one of only three such accredited programs in Michigan.
Electrical engineering technology graduates obtain employment
with a variety of employers including AT&T, Chrysler, Consumers
Power, Control Data Corporation, General Electric, and Zenith.
