The Electrical Engineering Technology A.A.S. degree is accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) including Automated Control Systems, Electrical, and Electronic concentrations.

The Electrical Engineering Technology program is a comprehensive program with various options. This program offers three concentrations: Electrical Engineering Technology, Electronic Engineering Technology, and Automated Control Systems (offered only at the Cookeville campus). See information below for specifics for each option.

Transfer/Advising

The A.A.S. degree is designed to prepare a student for employment upon graduation. Some universities, at their discretion, accept some technical courses for transfer. A student who plans to transfer to a university should consult his/her advisor and the receiving university about transfer and articulation policies. Failure to do so could result in loss of transfer credits.

Electronic Engineering Technology Concentration


Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.)

The Electronic Engineering Technology concentration prepares graduates for various types of occupations involving electronics. The program is broad, rigorous, and comprehensive enough to ensure appropriate competencies in mathematics, science, communication skills, and electronics. It also provides enough technical electives to allow students to tailor, to some degree, the training toward their future or present employment. Typical areas of emphasis are communications, electronic repair, manufacturing, and field service repair. The student receives extensive hands-on experience in all the electronic courses using equipment now available on the job.

Typical jobs for graduates of this program are: customer service technician - installs and maintains various types of electronic equipment with service occasionally provided at the customer site; electronic engineering aide - assists engineers in the design, development, and testing of electronic equipment; industrial maintenance technician - works as an electronic repair technician in large industrial sites; and communications technician - installs and maintains various types of telecommunications, broadcasting, cable television equipment, or other data transmission systems.

Graduates of the program should be able to:

  • Apply circuit analysis and design, computer programming, analog and digital electronics, and electrical machinery principles to install, test, and maintain electrical and electronic systems;
  • Function effectively on professional teams and communicate effectively with speaking, writing, and graphical skills;
  • Demonstrate a respect for professional, ethical, and social issues as well as a commitment to quality and dependability; and
  • Have the ability to stay current professionally.

Course Requirements


Recommended Full-Time Schedule


Note:


Cooperative work experience can be an important addition to a student’s formal classroom work. Co-op courses may substitute for technical courses with the prior approval of the Program Coordinator. The Career Services Office will provide the correct course numbers.

 

* This course is part of the general education core.
