About the Program
The mission of the Electrical Engineering Technology program is to provide career educational opportunities to students who have a hands-on aptitude and are oriented towards applications. The program offers courses that emphasize practical aspects of engineering along with abstract concepts and theories. The courses are a blend of the application of engineering knowledge, scientific principles and technical skills used in modern industries. This is accomplished by integrating theory with extensive hands-on laboratory training, mathematics, science, and rounding off with courses in humanities and general education. The program offers academic preparation for careers in embedded computer systems, electrical power and renewable energy, electric mobility, electronics hardware, process controls, and telecommunications, Internet of Things hardware platforms, and cloud based solutions. EET graduate will be well prepared to work effectively in Industry 4.0 environment. Students will complete a Senior Design Project, which is a one-year capstone individual/team project that provides the opportunity to pursue an idea from conception to design, then execute into a demonstrable project. The program’s goal is to produce graduates who are equipped with marketable skills and potential for growth to meet the technical manpower needs of the society.
By participating nationally competed student clubs, student are able to strengthen project management skills and team work.
First year students may participate in a unique program for technical skill development called Discipline Specific Skill Acquisition (DSSA). DSSA will develop an unskilled student into a trained person, with marketable multi-disciplinary skills, in just one year! In addition, you can receive college credits after successful completion of the program and skill badges.
The Electrical Engineering Technology Bachelor of Science program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc. http://www.abet.org. This ensures that the program is independently reviewed and meets the quality expectation for that profession.
