Electronic Engineering Technology - Electronics, BS

Innovation in the ever-growing field of electronics depends more than ever on properly educated and trained individuals who can conceive, design, develop and produce solutions to modern technical problems. Accordingly, the Electronic Engineering Technology program prepares graduates with technical and managerial skills necessary to enter careers as technologists in such industries as aerospace, computers, communications, medical, chemical and energy supply.

Students are offered training in a wide range of areas such as control systems, microprocessors, communications systems, computer applications and computer-aided design. Moreover, the program emphasizes written and oral communication skills as well as modern methods of industrial administration and supervision.

This program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.ABET.org.

Program Objectives

Program educational objectives for the BS in Electronic Engineering Technology - Electronics are developed to prepare students for the post-graduation activities. These program educational objectives are intended to produce versatile graduates in engineering technology who:

1. Will be successful in their chosen careers. Graduates of this program will be able to pursue positions that require design, development, implementation, and manufacturing of electronics systems and processes.
2. Will be able to pursue professional education, graduate study and/or continued education.
3. Will conduct themselves as responsible members of society through involvement in community and professional engagement.

Student Outcomes

The BS electronic engineering technology - Electronics program seeks to provide an engaging educational experience for students. These form the basis for particular abilities that students should be able to demonstrate prior to graduation. These abilities coincide with new ETAC ABET criterion 3 (1) through (5) requirements as presented below:

1. Graduates will demonstrate an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems used in electronic engineering technology program
2. Graduates will demonstrate an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate of an electronic system
3. Graduates will demonstrate an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly- defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature
4. Graduates will demonstrate an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes of an electronic system
5. Graduates will demonstrate an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
