Electronics Engineering Technology (EET.S.AAS)

71.0-72.0 Credit Hours

The Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) program provides students with exciting opportunities to put engineering concepts into practice. The curriculum balances instruction in theory with hands-on laboratory applications. A strong background in basics and in-depth study of advanced topics gives students careers in diversified areas, such as digital systems, microcomputers, programmable logic controllers, and analog systems. The program is TAC/ABET accredited and thereby assures quality education in modern state-of-the-art equipped laboratories and a highly qualified faculty. Those who wish to further their studies are well prepared for entry into the best four-year electronics engineering programs. Several articulation agreements exist between Sinclair's EET program and four-year colleges and universities.
