Bachelor of Science | Associate of Science

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology

Accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, Maryland 21202 Telephone (410) 347-7700.

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering Technology degree program prepares the student for a position as a technologist, primarily in manufacturing industries. The engineering technologist is typically a practical person, interested in applying engineering principles as well as organizing people for industrial production, construction or operation, or in the improvement of devices, processes, methods, or procedures. The program consists of additional study in electrical engineering technology and courses that provide the background of related technical and nontechnical topics that are essential in modern industry.

The Educational Objectives of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology degree program are to produce graduates who: 

• Have technical and professional skills that prepare them for immediate employment in an electrical or electronics engineering related capacity and to add value to their company within a short time after employment.
• Analyze, design, and implement control systems, communications systems, computer systems, or power systems utilizing mathematical methods including statistics/probability, transform methods, discrete mathematics, or applied differential equations.
• Communicate effectively in oral, written, and graphical forms at a level appropriate to an electrical or electronics technologist.
• Work effectively, individually and as a member or leader of a multidisciplinary team.
• Demonstrate a high standard of professional ethics and are cognizant of social concerns as they relate to the practice of engineering technology.
• Continue their education through short courses, industrial training, and/or participation in a graduate program.
• Apply project management techniques to EET projects.

Associate of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology

The Associate of Science (A.S.) in electrical engineering technology degree program is a combination of courses in electricity, electronics, mathematics, science, and general academic areas of study.

The program prepares students for employment as electrical engineering technicians in research laboratories, electronic industries, and in any industry that uses electrical power or electronic controls.

The basic curriculum will provide the student with sufficient education to seek employment in such fields as communications electronics, industrial electronics, military electronics, computer electronics, automation, electronic servicing, electrical power, aviation electronics, and others. A considerable amount of laboratory work is required.

The duties of the electrical engineering technician could include construction, testing, and troubleshooting of experimental circuits in research laboratories; installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, operation, and testing of electrical and electronic equipment in industries; and sales and service of electronic equipment. Electrical engineering technicians may have the following job classifications: research or laboratory technician, electronics engineering technician, field service technician, production technician, maintenance technician, instrument technician, inspector, or electronic specialist.

Students who obtain the Associate of Science degree may want to apply their work toward the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology. Two additional years of study are necessary to complete the requirements for this degree. Another local degree option available to graduates of the two-year Electrical Engineering Technology Program is the Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership and Supervision.
