Program Description:

The Electronic Engineering Technology program provides a strong background in electrical and electronic theory. The theory is further reinforced through practical laboratory work and experimentation. Emphasis throughout the program is on understanding principles that are basic to the broad utilization of electronics across a wide spectrum of industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. The program is designed to provide preparation for entry level jobs in a variety of fields.

Program Outcomes:

Upon completion of this program, the student will be able to:

1. Demonstrate computer skills required by the Electronic Engineering industry.

2. Demonstrate critical thinking and manual skills to solve and troubleshoot and repair a malfunctioning circuit.

3. Demonstrate the use of test equipment to measure circuit variables, and service tools to effect [sic] a repair.

4. Apply mathematical skills to the solution of a circuit problem.

5. Demonstrate safe work habits.

Requirements & Specific Information:

Students interested in furthering their studies in the field of renewable energy may complement the Associate of Applied Science degrees in Automated Systems Technology-Mechatronics or Electronic Engineering Technology with the Renewable Energy Technology Certificate.

Career Opportunities:

Electronic Engineering Technology

Transfer Pathways:

Students intending to transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree need to make early decisions concerning an academic major and a transfer destination. Statistics show that students who make these decisions early are more likely to persist to graduation than their undecided counterparts. Students planning to transfer credits earned at Macomb are strongly urged to see a counselor or academic advisor as early as possible in their college careers.
