Engineering Technology

We offer two engineering majors. You can choose Electrical Engineering or Advanced Manufacturing & Integration Technology. Both programs are designed to give you the fundamental classes necessary to open a world of opportunity for you. As a graduate, you can immediately begin working in the industry or can transfer to a four-year college and earn a bachelor's degree.

Electrical Engineering Technology - Instrumentation, Control & Electrical

Electrical Engineering Technology - Instrumentation, Control & Electrical - The EET ICE program is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment where you will learn to design, operate, and maintain power and control systems. You will learn installation, operation, and servings of electrical equipment in several different industries, including manufacturing, power, polymer, metallurgical, oil and gas, and others.

As a graduate of the program, you can expect to find career opportunities in instrumentation, power plant operation, quality control, electrical maintenance, and electrical troubleshooting.

Program Learning Outcomes:

  • Apply circuit analysis methods to solve D.C. and A.C. networks.
