STUDENT OUTCOMES

Graduates of the Program will be able to:

  • ability to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined engineering technology activities;
  • ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge;
  • ability to conduct standard tests and measurements and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments;
  • ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team;
  • ability to analyze, solve and design solutions for well-defined problems;
  • ability to apply written, oral and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
  • understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development;
  • understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity;
  • a commitment to quality, timelines, and continuous improvement;
  • the application of circuit analysis and design, computer programming, associated software, analog and digital electronics, microcomputers and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation and maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems; and
  • ability to apply natural sciences and mathematics at or above the level of algebra and trigonometry to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can students who major in Electrical Engineering Technology Transfer to a four-year college or university?

Many four-year colleges and universities will apply many of the courses students have taken toward a bachelor’s degree. The College also has a Joint Admissions agreement with The New Jersey Institute of Technology which will allow students, upon graduation from this program, to enter the B.S. in Electrical Engineering Technology program with junior standing.

What will students learn if they study Electrical Engineering Technology?

They develop skills and the understanding of the theory of electronics. Students develop skills in design, analysis, and the manufacture of electronic and computer equipment through courses that combine laboratory and classroom experience. The laboratories are equipped with modern industrial-grade equipment and provide for a great variety of applications of knowledge.

Are there any requirements that must be satisfied before taking courses in the major?

Algebra I is a prerequisite for all majors. Algebra I competency may be verified with a passing score on the College’s placement test or completion of the appropriate course.

How long will it take to complete this degree?

Once students complete developmental coursework (if needed), the degree can be completed in two years of full-time study. They can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions. They can complete the certificate in three semesters.

Transfer Information

Our students transfer to 4-year colleges and universities around the globe. We’ve had students transfer to every state, including Alaska and Hawaii.

The Statewide Transfer Agreement for New Jersey ensures that students who earn an A.A. or A.S. degree at a community college will have those credits fully transferable to a New Jersey public four-year institution, will have completed half of the credits required for a basic four-year degree and will have completed all lower division general education requirements. In addition, articulation agreements are being worked out with institutions granting baccalaureate degrees to facilitate the transfer process. Students should discuss the transfer process with an advisor.
