Our society is becoming
increasingly dependent on electrical energy. Consumer products and the
industrial processes required to produce them have been greatly influenced
by the application of electrical and electronic technology. This has had an
impact on research, development, testing, manufacturing and maintenance of
existing and new products. This expanded “high-tech” effort has resulted in
an increasing need for highly trained technicians in all areas of
technology. Electrical
engineering technology is concerned with the generation,
|
|
transmission and
distribution of electrical power; its application to power and control
industrial processes and wiring systems design. |
|
Electrical technicians are part
of the engineering team needed to fulfill the work in this broad and
challenging field. The electrical engineering technician must have
theoretical knowledge of the field and extensive hands-on experience with
laboratory techniques and equipment.
Job opportunities as an
electrical engineering technician include: transmission and distribution
planner, industrial process control technician, electrical contractor,
project manager, electrical technician, engineering assistant and service
technician. |
|
 |
 |
|
The application of
electronics to electrical systems control has greatly influenced the
educational background that electrical engineering technicians need. As
a result, the electrical engineering technology program includes a
number of electronic courses, as well as the traditional courses in
electrical power, machines and control.
The electrical engineering
technology program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC
of ABET). |
|
A graduate of this program will earn an associate of applied science
degree in electrical engineering technology.
