Department of Industrial and Electrical Engineering Technology
Electrical Engineering Technoloby
Students spend the first two years of their program developing a sound foundation in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computer applications. Since many of the upper-division coursed in Electrical Engineering Technology have their roots in mathematics, the basic sciences, and use of computer software to design and analyze complex problems, proficiency in these areas is very crucial to their success in mastering the curriculum. The Junior and Senior years are devoted primarily to a balanced offering of course in the technical specialty that gives breadth to their professional knowledge. Students desiring a minor specialization in "energy" may pursue 18 hours of recommended courses in Energy Use and Conservation Technology.
Majors
The Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program is designed to provide the students with an opportunity to acquire a high degree of proficiency in the field, supported by competence in mathematics, the basic sciences, and technological principles that will be needed to function effectively as an Electrical Engineering Technologist. The EET program is designed to prepare individuals to work in the broad fields of electronics, communications, automatic controls, robotics, computers, technology, and power systems, computer aided design, and senior project. Students are introduced to design concepts wherever applicable. Calculus application is stressed in majority of the courses. Students use various software packages to simulate and design electrical systems and circuits. Well equipped laboratories are maintained to provide opportunities for students to have hands-on experience with digital computers and a variety of modern electrical and electronic equipment. The laboratory exercises provide verification of the basic theory and reinforcement of the underlying principles; acquaintance with physical components and equipment; greater attention to theoretical limitations; ability to communicate; critical thinking and observations; application of logical analysis; and computer usage to solve real world problems. Our program is aimed at high school graduates, nontraditional students, and transfer students from other colleges seeking an application-oriented four-year technical education. Graduates of this program may qualify for positions in electronics, power, control, robotics, and computers are utilized.

Requirements
Students of the Department of Industrial Engineering Technology who satisfy the general requirements of the University and complete all the requirements of the University and complete all the requirements as listed in the curriculum which lead to the degree pursued are awarded degrees appropriate to their curricula. Students entering the department enrolled in Math 100 cannot enroll in EET 170 (Introduction to Engineering Technology) until a grade of at least a "C" is obtained in Math 100. Students entering the department are placed in a mathematics souse which is consistent with their proficiency in mathematics as determined by test results.
