More on the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology programs

Program Information

Graduates of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology program will work with engineers in developing, manufacturing, testing and servicing Electrical/Electronic components, equipment and systems. 

This degree program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org.

Program Educational Objectives

Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation. Program educational objectives are based on the needs of the program’s constituencies (i.e., students, alumni, employers of our students, and faculty of the program). 

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology (EEET) program at the University of Akron has as its primary educational objective to produce technically capable graduates who within five years of graduation, will demonstrate:

• the fundamental knowledge and problem-solving skills to be productive as individual and team contributors in an electrical/electronic engineering technology career field.
• a commitment to accountability, attention to detail, and reliability.
• written and verbal communication skills developed in a broad-based university education.

Student Outcomes

Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program, including:

1. an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
2. an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
3. an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
4. an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes;
5. an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

Cooperative Education

Co-op work experiences are available on an optional basis in this academic program.

The following information has official approval of The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering ​and The College of Engineering and Polymer Science, but is intended only as a supplemental guide. Official degree requirements are established at the time of transfer and admission to the degree-granting college. Students should refer to the Degree Progress Report (DPR) which is definitive for graduation requirements. Completion of this degree within the identified time frame below is contingent upon many factors, including but not limited to: class availability, total number of required credits, work schedule, finances, family, course drops/withdrawals, successfully passing courses, prerequisites, among others. The transfer process is completed through an appointment with your academic advisor.
