Electronic Engineering Technology

Program Description

Electrical and electronic technicians build, test and maintain complex electronic equipment such as computers, control systems, communication networks, power systems and medical devices. The Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) program at Bronx Community College prepares graduates to join the workforce as technical professionals in a variety of industries and services or to transfer to a four-year baccalaureate program in engineering technology.

The technical curriculum is combined with a program of general education to assure that graduates of the EET program have the prerequisite skills in reading, writing and communication that are necessary to function effectively in the workplace. The Electronic Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electronic Engineering Technology.

Electronic Engineering Technology students who plan to continue their studies may transfer directly to New York City College of Technology or other colleges offering the baccalaureate degree in Engineering Technology. Graduates’ transfer credits for technology courses taken at BCC will be evaluated by each college.

Program Objectives

Within two or more years after graduation from Bronx Community College students in the Electronic Technology Program are expected to be

• gainfully employed as engineering technologists;
• respectful of cultural diversity and practicing the profession in an ethical manner
• attaining increasing levels of responsibility in their chosen career; and
• graduates of a four-year baccalaureate program in Engineering Technology or pursuing additional formal education.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the Electronic Engineering Technology program requirements, students will be able to:

1. Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve well-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
2. Design solutions for well-defined technical problems and assist with the engineering design of systems, components, or processes appropriate to the discipline such as power supply, counters, AM & FM radio, Microprocessor Control Systems, and optical fiber transmitter and receiver;
3. Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in well-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
4. Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results;
5. Function effectively as a technical team member.
