Electrical Engineering Technology - Electronics

Description
Program Objectives: The Electrical Engineering Technology – Electronics program offers our diverse community with a high quality-learning environment and many training opportunities. After successfully completing the requirements of this program, the graduate will be capable of:

STUDENT LEARNING
1. Functioning as a technically qualified electrical/electronics technician, fully capable of working with electrical, electronic, instrumentation, communication, control, and computer hardware and software based applications. Such activities may include the collection and analysis of data, the troubleshooting and repair of defective equipment and circuitry, the translation of engineering designs into projects and test procedures, and the preparation of technical reports for an engineering or sales team.

PROGRAM LEVEL SUCCESS
2. Successfully transferring to a four or five year baccalaureate program in electrical, computer, or telecommunications engineering technology. This allows the graduate to continue to participate in life-long learning if she/he desires.

3. Displaying employability in a qualified technical environment with a variety of constituencies such as clients, co-workers, supervisors, customers utilizing skills acquired in the program. Such skills include professional oral and written communication, critical-thinking and team working skills.

4. Engaging in professional development activities and building upon on her/his initial technical background and achieved degree.
