Electrical Engineering Technology

Bachelor of Science

The Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) degree program combines courses in electricity, electronics, mathematics, science, the humanities, and social sciences. The basic curriculum provides EET students with sufficient education to find employment in the fields of communications electronics, industrial electronics, microwaves, military electronics, computer electronics, automation, industrial controls, electronic servicing, television, electrical power, aviation electronics, and others. A considerable amount of laboratory work is required.

Program Requirements

• All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated.
• All courses are offered by Purdue, unless otherwise designated.
• 120 semester credits and a 2.0 Graduation GPA are required for the Bachelor of Science degree.
• Students must earn a "D-" or better in all courses. 
• Courses at Purdue University may only be attempted a maximum of three (3) times, including W, WF, I, IF and all graded attempts.
• Senior Capstone Selective I/II and 12 hours of ECET Selectives must be taken at the Purdue University location conferring the degree.
