Undergraduate Curricula
The EET degree program is a four-year plan of study leading to a bachelor of science degree. The EET plan of study is presented below as a suggested order to complete the degree on a semester by semester basis over the four-year period.
The computer engineering technology (CpET) specialization consists of a modified third and fourth year of the EET BS degree program. The third and fourth year of the CpET program are presented below the EET plan of study.
An associate degree is available which consists essentially of the first two years of the BS degree. See the ECET academic advisors for details.
