Electrical Engineering Technology | | Graduates of this program are able to work in any number of challenging positions. As engineering technicians, they may participate in such varied activities as research, development, design, production, or manufacturing of complex electrical, electronic, or electromechanical products. Testing, quality control, marketing, installation, and customer service are among the job opportunities available.
Students may also pursue a dual major with Computer Engineering Technology or Mechanical Engineering Technology. Upon completion of a two year Associate’s Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, students may pursue a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Sustainable Design & Technology, or Business Technology & Management.
The Associate of Engineering in Electrical Engineering Technology program will:
- Provide students with the capabilities to be immediately employable and productive in the workplace
- Provide the education so that graduates are knowledgeable in both theory and application
- Instill the necessary skills so that graduates are qualified for positions of responsibility
- Provide the base of knowledge so that graduates are prepared for lifelong learning and can adapt to new and emerging technologies
- Provide the base of knowledge so that the graduate can continue their formal education
Students with an Associate of Engineering in Electrical Engineering Technology should be able to demonstrate:
