As an Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) graduate, students are skilled in testing, maintaining, and troubleshooting electrical and electronic devices found in machinery, computers, and communication. Typical careers for program grads include electrical/electronic development technician, electrical/electronic maintenance technician, electrical test technician, electrical/electronics technician, and field service technician. Students may also choose to further their education by pursuing a four-year degree. The EET program consists of two tracks: a transfer track and a general track - the transfer track graduate can transfer to a four-year bachelor's degree program in electrical engineering technology. A graduate of this program will have the potential for employment in the following areas: Electrical/Electronic Development Technician: assists engineers in the design and development of experimental and prototype equipment and products. Electrical/Electronic Maintenance Technician: services and programs in-plant automatic control equipment, computers, robots, and other equipment. Electrical Test Technician: tests, troubleshoots, and inspects electrical/electronic products (quality control testing). Electrical/Electronics Technician: maintains equipment including motor controllers, cables, communication equipment, computers, security systems, CNC equipment, programmable controllers, robots, and automatic production equipment; works with engineers in building breadboard and prototype devices; and evaluates and tests electronic devices and systems. Field Service Technician: services and overhauls equipment in the customer’s facility; works with sales personnel; and demonstrates new equipment to potential customers. Program Outcomes: Apply electronic theory to practice. Operate test equipment. Build electronic circuits and systems. Evaluate the operation of electronic circuits or systems. Communicate technical information.
