Electrical/Computer Engineering Technology Associate of Applied Science Degree EE13

Electrical, electronic, instrumentation, and computer technicians apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between scientific discoveries and the commercial applications that meet societal and consumer needs. Technicians use computers extensively to produce and analyze designs, to simulate and test how a machine, structure, or system operates, to generate specifications for parts, to monitor the quality of products, and to control the efficiency of processes. The Electronical and Computer Engineering Technology Associate of Applied Science program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Computer Engineering Technology and Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology.

ABET is an international association that recognizes schools and colleges producing students prepared to enter a global workforce defined by a set of quality standards. These standards are guided by the following Program Educational Objectives (PEO) and Student Outcomes.

Program Educational Objectives (PEO):

Graduates will possess theoretical and practical knowledge, along with the technical skills required for gainful employment with industry employers within the college’s service region.

Graduates will understand workplace ethics, such as teamwork and communication, as well as a need for lifelong learning.

Graduates will be able to continue their education in a four-year engineering technology program.

Student Outcomes (SO): An ability to:

Apply the knowledge, techniques, skills and the use of modern tools to solve well defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.

Design solutions for well-defined technical problems and assist with the engineering design of systems, components or processes appropriate to the discipline.
