Part-time Study
Electrical Engineering Technology
Program Overview
The bachelor of science program in electrical engineering technology is offered both full- and part-time. This baccalaureate program accepts transfer students into the upper division from appropriate electrical or electronic engineering technology associate degree programs. The long-term objectives for the electrical engineering technology program are:
Graduates, five or more years after graduation will have:
• Attained gainful employment in the field
• Pursued additional formal education and/or certification
• Attained increasing levels of responsibility and leadership
in their chosen field.
These goals prepare EET graduates to choose careers in a number of different disciplines. Graduates enter not only design, but other related disciplines including manufacturing, research, sales and marketing, applications engineering, and education. To attain these objectives, specific program outcomes are specified for graduates. These can be found by visiting the department website at www.rit.edu/~ect.
The upper division is a viable option for students who have completed their associate degree and wish to continue their education in engineering technology. Liberal arts, mathematics, general education, and technical elective requirements depend upon student transfer credit review and are specified at matriculation on a program worksheet.
The upper-division portion of this program expands on basic courses with upper-level courses in applied differential equations, liberal arts, advanced circuits, control systems, analog and digital electronics, and mechanical and manufacturing engineering technology. Professional electives are available in power, communications systems, and embedded system design.
Several electives can be selected from other technical disciplines. Talk to your adviser to determine the best choices. A wide array of computer and specialized laboratories are also available. Call 585-475-2179 for an appointment.
