Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology
Electronics and Computer Engineering Emphasis (EE)
Academic School: Industrial & Engineering Technologies
(Effective Fall 2006)
Associate of Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.)
This major is designed to prepare women and men for a wide range of employment opportunities as well as for continued academic study. The curriculum provides advanced-level mathematics and science courses that can be transferred to B.S. programs in electronics and/or computer engineering technology. A core of fundamental courses and laboratory experiences equip students with basic knowledge of electronic circuits and devices, digital/microprocessor systems, computers and networks, and programming/software tools.
Career Opportunities: Positions, based on interests and abilities, such as: Process Engineering Technician; Test Engineering Technician; Controls Engineering Technician; Application Engineering Technician.
Remediation Strategies: Students testing below MTH 005 are not permitted to take Electronics (EET) courses until MTH 004 has been successfully completed. Students testing deficient in three areas (mathematics, English, reading) are not permitted to take Electronics courses until remediation has been completed in all three areas. Students testing deficient in English and/or reading are required to remediate these areas during their first semester. Students testing into MTH 005 or MTH 006 will be permitted to take first semester Electronics courses. Students need to be in MTH 180 or above in their second semester; otherwise, students will need instructor permission to continue into a second semester Electronics course.
Transfer Procedures: This major is subject to the transfer standards established by the College (see http://www.pct.edu/catalog/TransferringCredits.htm ). Exceptions must be approved by the school dean.
Program Goals: A graduate of this major should be able to:
- apply principles of circuit design and analysis of analog, digital, microprocessor-based and networked systems.
- use appropriate interpersonal, verbal and written communications and information literacy skills to work independently and cooperatively within an organization to promote the goals and objectives of a team, division or company.
- demonstrate a cooperative and responsible attitude in the workplace that reflects cultural diversity and ethical behavior in modern society.
- utilize information literacy and technology resources in continuous independent learning throughout their career.
