Program Description

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology program is a planned sequence of carefully developed college-level courses designed to prepare students to work in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology. The program of study emphasizes the application of scientific, mathematic, and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills in support of engineering activities. Program graduates will receive an Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology Associate of Applied Science degree, qualifying them as engineering technicians with a specialization in, computer engineering technology, electronics engineering technology, or instrumentation and control engineering technology. High school graduation or GED is required for admission to this program.

Employment Opportunities

The increasing complexity of modern technology will result in an increased demand for electrical engineering technicians. Many will be needed to work with engineers and scientists in developing and producing new and technically advanced products. Also, the growing importance of scientific research will add to the demand for electrical engineering technicians.
