Program Description
Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology (BS-EET) program emphasizes electronics lab work and includes courses in DC/AC circuit design, advanced microprocessor design and applications, and digital and analog electronics and signal processing. Elective courses are available in power systems, control systems, and communications systems. Students learn the principles and techniques that allow them to design and evaluate electronic systems and to make recommendations regarding their use and modification.
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 should be able to:
- Apply current knowledge and adapt to emerging applications of mathematics, science, electronics engineering and technology
- Apply creativity in the design of systems, components or processes appropriate to program objectives
- Function effectively on teams
- Demonstrate respect for diversity and a knowledge of contemporary professional, societal and global issues
- Demonstrate a commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.
