The Electrical Engineering Technology Program has the mission to provide
an academic and technical education with sequential/practical
instruction for the development of the student as a mature, responsible
engineering technician who is eligible to take the examination of the
National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies or
International Certification of Engineering Technologies (NICET or ICET)
which measures the degree of theoretical knowledge and technical
proficiency of practicing engineering technicians. The curriculum
incorporates basic and advanced courses in electricity, electronics and
electrical machinery. In addition students are encouraged to take
technical electives in fields that are of particular interest to them.
It is intended that technical electives be used to form a background in
a second area of interest or specialization.
Job Opportunities: Knowledge and skills gained through this program
typically prepare for, or upgrade persons in, the following occupations:
Engineering Assistants in the electrical and electronics industry
Mining Electrical/Electronics Maintenance Workers
Telephone and Communication Technicians
System Troubleshooters working with industrial control equipment
Sales Representatives for electrical/electronics manufacturers
Field Representatives handling the installation and maintenance of
computers or communications equipment
Network Technicians who install networking components and communications
Overall Program Goals: At review, the successful program will be able
to:
• prepare students to pass the NICET or ICET exams
• allow students to transfer to a four year BSEET curriculum
• provide workforce development opportunities
Instructional Goals/Objectives: Upon completion of this program all
students are expected to demonstrate/complete the following::
• exhibit ethical, responsible, and dependable behavior
• communicate effectively with employees and customers
• work cooperatively with others in a team environment
• analyze, construct and test DC circuits using both fundamental and
advanced techniques
• analyze, construct and test AC circuits using both fundamental and
advanced techniques
• use computer programs to model, analyze and design electronic and
electrical circuits
• analyze, construct and test electronic circuits utilizing skills
gained though course work and instruction
• analyze, design and construct fundamental semiconductor circuits
• calculate and analyze power industry circuits and recommend potential
solutions for power system problems
• analyze, construct and design fundamental digital circuits
• use their skills to critically analyze practical troubleshooting
problems and situations
• incorporate various aspects of a well-rounded academic background into
workplace situations
• skills that are in demand by local, regional and national businesses
and industries
Assessment Procedures: The assessment procedures for this program will
contain formal evaluative measures utilizing standardized program and
course examinations and informal measures utilizing capstone/internship
experience and surveys.
Required standardized examinations include:
Pre/mid/post exam: This exam is a comprehensive of all instructional
goals. Students will be required to pass the post exam to graduate.
Designated courses will also require pre/mid/post exams.
WorkKeys: All students will be required to take the WorkKeys assessment
test during the academic year they will be graduating.
Capstone : Each student will be required to participate in a capstone
course. This course will be taken as the final course prior to
graduation. Students will be required to collect a portfolio of work
completed and complete a final presentation. The capstone course will
document and administer the required standardized examinations required
for graduation.
Additional assessment procedures may be added as deemed necessary by the
Division of Technology and Engineering. Students should consult with the
program advisor for information regarding assessment.
