The Electronics Engineering Technology program is a two-year career-oriented curriculum preparing students for positions in electronics industries and related electronics service. Job activities center on technical problem-solving and the practical application of engineering. The specific program educational objectives of the Electronics Engineering Technology program are to: 1) produce graduates that are employed and operate effectively in positions that lie between those of the skilled craftsperson and those of the graduate electrical engineer. 2) produce graduates that can successfully transfer and complete a baccalaureate degree program in electronics engineering technology. 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 (Program Code 3601). Cooperative Education, a work-study program with local electronic firms, is available. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore MD 21202-4012, telephone: 410-347-7700.
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.
