With electronic and computer circuits now being used in everything from the most complex industrial equipment to the simplest of household appliances, the engineering technician in this field is prepared to work in an extremely wide variety of businesses and industries.
Skilled in the operation, troubleshooting, calibration and repair of electronic instruments and systems found in process control, communications, computers, manufacturing, programmable logic controllers and microprocessors, the graduate is not limited to one specific area of employment. Practical, hands-on experience on sophisticated electronic equipment provides the student with the skills necessary to assist in the basic design, construction, analysis, modification, inspection and calibration of electronic circuits and systems.
Accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), Engineering Technology Curricula 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202, this program offers a comprehensive introduction both to the theoretical principles governing electronic systems and the practical application of those principles.

Advisement Information
-
Recent high school graduates should be asked if they have participated in Project Lead the Way. If so, high school transcripts should be forwarded to Sandy Warner for possible exemption credit.
-
EGR 101 is a new course starting spring 2012, specially designed for students who are enrolled in MAT 152, MAT 101 or MAT 102 and not yet able to begin engineering couresework requiring higher math. It is a one credit hour (one contact hour) course for all engineering majors.
-
Students taking MAT 102 or higher may enroll in EET 111.
-
Students who need MAT, ENG or RDG 032 courses as prerequisites should not enroll in EET, EGR, or EGT courses.
-
To enroll in EGR 130, students must have completed MAT 102 or have placement scores indicating readiness for MAT 110.
-
The English sequence is either ENG 165 & ENG 101, or for students planning transfer, ENG 101 & 102. Advise for prerequisite math, reading, and English courses as indicated by placement scores.
-
EGT 151 is preferable over EGT 152 for EET students because they are probably going to use AutoCAD in the workplace instead of Inventor.
-
When students enter this program with Project Lead the Way course credit in high school, they may receive the following credit:
PLTW High School Course = PTC Course
Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) = EGT 152
Principles of Engineering (POE) = EGR 130
