Program Description

Associate of Science
The Associate of Science in Electronics & Computer Engineering Technology (AS-ECET) introduces students to the basics of electrical and electronics design with courses in DC/AC circuit principles and design, digital electronics, and analog electronics.  Two courses in computer programming enable students starting with no experience in programming to develop skills in this area.  The program satisfies the first two years of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering Technology (BS-CET) or the Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology (BS-EET).

Note: A student should be prepared to enter MA105 – College Algebra.  If this is not the case, developmental math is available.  Also, it is expected that a student is computer literate and is able to install programs, copy files from a disk to the hard drive, move files within directories, and use Word and Excel at a basic level.  A student who is in need of basic computer skills should take CS101 at the beginning of the program.

Program Outcomes

At the successful completion of the program, the student will be able to:

• Demonstrate appropriate proficiency in knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of their disciplines
• Conduct, analyze and interpret experiments and apply experimental results to improve processes
• Identify, analyze and solve technical problems
• Communicate effectively
• Demonstrate an awareness of professional, ethical and social responsibilities
