The Bachelor of Science graduate with a major in Electrical Engineering Technology (E E T) is an engineering technologist who can bridge the gap between scientific advancement and practical electrical devices and systems. Research in all fields of electrical engineering has produced an abundance of new knowledge in recent years. Many of these advanced scientific achievements have been unused due to the shortage of engineering technologists specifically educated to convert scientific information into practical devices and systems. The E E T major aims to equip students with the various skills necessary to adapt new scientific knowledge to new products. Technical selections are offered in the senior year to provide some degree of specialization, but all graduates receive a well-rounded basic education in electrical and electronic design principles. The strengths of the program include: an applied, hands-on program; extensive laboratory experience; and promising job placement. For a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, a minimum of 128 credits is required.

Graduates of the Electrical Engineering Technology program will find a job market with many opportunities. Within the program options–General Electrical Engineering Technology or Computer Engineering Technology–students can prepare for interesting and challenging careers. Opportunities can be found in the areas of computer interfacing and networking, development engineering, manufacturing, product engineering, field service, energy management, quality control, technical sales, or management. These opportunities can be found in a variety of firms engaged in electronic manufacturing, industrial control, applications engineering, and in power utilities.
