This plan outlines a four-year path to graduation. You are expected to satisfy all “success marker” courses, grades, and GPAs as specified. For part-time students and students needing to complete background material, this schedule represents the order in which courses should be completed. This suggested plan to four-year graduation still requires regular advising appointments. Some course offerings may change.

Note(s):
The above plan is only an example. Each student should meet with an academic advisor to prepare an individualized plan of study.
Program Description
Engineering technologists combine creativeness and ingenuity with advanced mathematics and physics to innovate, design and create electrical and electronic technologies for alternative energy, wireless communications, electronic surveillance, automation and computing algorithms, semiconductor devices and many other areas. ECET pre-major students complete foundational math, physics, computer science and beginning electrical engineering courses. ECET full-major students complete a broad set of electrical and computer engineering, and computer science courses that emphasize design with laboratory experience and modeling and simulation practice.
The Department of Electrical Engineering offers degree programs that prepare students for a wide range of interests and careers. Besides the Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology, other programs include Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy degree in Electrical Engineering. The Department also offers graduate certificate programs in specialized areas of electrical engineering. Campus Contact Information
