Electronics Engineering Technology
Associate in Applied Science Degree
The Electronics Engineering Technology program is a two-year career-oriented curriculum that prepares students for positions in electronics industries and related electronics service. Job activities center on technical problem-solving and the practical application of engineering.
The program educational objectives of the Electronics Engineering Technology program are to:
- Produce graduates who are employed and operate effectively in positions that lie between those of the skilled crafts-person and those of the graduate electrical engineer.
- Produce graduates who can successfully transfer and complete a baccalaureate degree program in Electronics Engineering Technology.
A student in the program is expected to be able to meet the following outcomes at the time of graduation:
- an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve well-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
- an ability to design solutions for well-defined technical problems and assist with the engineering design of systems, components, or processes appropriate to the discipline;
- an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in well-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature
- an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results; and
- an ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team.
After obtaining an Associate in Applied Science degree, it is possible to continue at a four-year college and to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology. No prior knowledge of electronics is necessary to enter the Electronics Engineering Technology program. Core electronics courses are sequenced along with applied mathematics and science to develop a broad background in the technology. Each electronics course contains a laboratory, which utilizes modern test instruments and applies classroom theory to practical applications.
In the second year of study, students interested in health-related fields may select the Biomedical Equipment option. Cooperative Education, a work-study program with local electronic firms, is available.
Articulation Agreements
An existing agreement with New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) provides students with a local transfer opportunity. Students should check with the Transfer Office about the latest articulation agreements for this program both locally and nationally.
