Objectives

The EET programs offer a broad preparation for applied engineering practice. Graduates will demonstrate excellence by integrating technical, societal, and business knowledge through their professional and educational experiences.

Emphasis is placed on understanding how engineering principles are applied in practice towards many of the following subject areas:

• Analog Systems Design and Implementation
• Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Systems
• Digital/Embedded Systems
• Electro-Mechanical Systems
• Power and Alternative Energy Systems

These subject areas can provide productive employment in many industry sectors including Energy, Security, Industrial Controls, Biotechnology, Building Mechanical Contracting Services, Transportation, and Entrepreneurial Product Development.

Outcomes

• Ability to design and conduct experiments on prototype or previously developed engineered systems and effectively communicate the results via written reports and oral presentations.
• Ability to correctly calibrate, install, and properly use basic electro-mechanical instruments as are typically used in engineering experimentation.
• Ability to competently use at least one form of circuit simulation and industrial control system type software as effective engineering tools in the solution of engineering technology problems.
• Ability to extend, extrapolate, or infer textbook, Coop experience, and coursework solutions to “real world” engineering problems.
• Ability to work as an effective member of a multi-disciplinary team while committing the quality of results and timeliness of project execution.
• Recognize the diverse but competent abilities, cultural and personal differences of team members as well as in clients and organizations during the implementation of an ethical solution to an engineering technology problem.
• Capable of satisfactorily completing a qualitative review of the basic content of each course as summarized in the course’s detailed outcomes.
