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.
