Electronic Engineering Technology (A.A.S.)

Division of Mathematics, Engineering Technologies and Computer Sciences — Curriculum Code: 2307

Will Earn Upon Program Completion: Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) Degree

Look inside any computer, TV, telephone, medical instrument, or household appliance and you will find electronic components, circuits, and systems. The same is true for traffic control systems, aircraft engines, cameras, automobiles, and other devices. All of these were designed and manufactured by engineers and technicians trained in the principles of electronic technology. This program prepares students to work with engineers in the design, fabrication, installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of electronic and electrical instruments and machinery. The program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission or ‘ABET’, http://www.abet.org.

About this A.A.S. in Electronic Engineering Technology degree

Are there any requirements I must satisfy before I start taking courses in my major?

Based on your placement test scores, you may have to take developmental courses in reading, English, and/or mathematics before taking the core curriculum courses in your major.

If I major in Electronic Engineering Technology, can I transfer to an upper-division college or university?

Yes. You may choose to participate in the Dual Admissions program with New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and have all your credits applied to the first two years of the bachelor’s degree program, or you may choose to transfer your credits to one of the many colleges that will apply most or all of your credits toward a bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering Technology.

How long will it take for me to complete this degree?

If you do not need developmental coursework and you register for an average of 16 credits each semester, you can complete the degree in two years. Part time students can complete the program in three or four years.

Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:

  • Demonstrate use of basic electronic measurement instruments including multimeters and oscilloscopes to test, verify, and troubleshoot electronic circuits;
  • Demonstrate computer competency in using electronic simulation software to build, analyze, and verify analog/digital electronic circuit behavior;
  • Create, read, and interpret electrical/electronic symbols in schematic diagrams to analyze/verify signal flow; and
  • Demonstrate appropriate oral and written communication skills and professional behaviors, which include being able to effectively work as a member of a team.
