Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology

Welcome to the
Purdue University North Central
ECET Department Home Page

Accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)


The Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) program is a combination of courses in electricity, electronics, mathematics, science, and general academic areas leading to either a Baccalaureate or an Associate of Science degree. The program is designed to prepare students for employment as technicians in research laboratories, electronic industries, and in any industry that uses electrical power or electronic controls

The curriculum provides the student with sufficient education to find employment in the fields of communications electronics, industrial electronics, military electronics, computer electronics, automation, industrial controls, electronic servicing, electrical power, aviation electronics, and others. A considerable amount of laboratory work is required.
