Electronic Engineering Technology

Degree Type
Associate in Science
Program Overview

The Electronic Engineering Technology Program concentrates on  the use of principles and theories of science, engineering, and mathematics to solve technical problems in research and development, manufacturing, sales, construction, and maintenance. Through the use of modern electronic laboratories, the student will become familiar with the areas of electronics, including circuit analysis, analog and digital integrated circuits, discrete semiconductor devices, electronic communications, and linear operational amplifier circuits. The student will also become familiar with C++ programming and microcontrollers using assembly language programming.

This program provides students with knowledge of currently established design and laboratory techniques.

The Electronic Engineering Technology program prepares graduates to have competence in the following curricular areas:

  1. the application of circuit analysis and design, computer programming, associated software, analog and digital electronics, and microcomputers, and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems; and
  2. the application of natural sciences and mathematics at or above the level of algebra and trigonometry to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic systems.
