Electrical Engineering Technology

The focus of electrical engineering technology is the design and operation of equipment and systems related to power, communications, data processing, and electrical control. Its major functions include generating, transmitting, and distributing electrical energy for light and power purposes; developing and producing equipment for telephone, radio, television, radar, and communication; designing and constructing data-processing systems and analog or digital computers; and applying electrical and electronic devices in the control of processes and manufacturing.

The program in electrical engineering technology offers theory courses at the upper end of the technology spectrum, and students may take technical electives in areas that interest them.

A sophomore may be given the cooperative education assignment of creating and editing electrical blueprints, doing shell drawings, or providing ductwork drawings along with the appropriate heat-loading calculations for companies engaged in electrical construction. Other entry positions include assembly, bread boarding, inspection, and quality assurance.

Seniors typically have progressed to positions of much greater responsibility, such as installing and maintaining computer network systems, maintaining on-line base maps for public utility systems, and coordinating architectural and electrical plans with construction companies and suppliers. Students have also had co-op positions in consulting engineering firms as analysts, telemarketers in sales engineering, and environmental safety compliance officers. See course descriptions for more information.
