Program Info
Overview
Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) is a branch of education that blends hands-on and minds-on activities to solve problems using concepts from science, mathematics, computer science, engineering and technology. The EET program provides students with the knowledge to design, develop, modify, maintain and install sophisticated electrical and electronic systems.
Students who should consider EET at California University of Pennsylvania are those who:
- Enjoy math and science courses in high school
- Have at least a C+ average in high school math and science courses
- Enjoy problem solving
- Enjoy computers
- Enjoy working with state-of-the-art electronic systems
- Enjoy building things
- Want a low-cost, first-class education
- Want to find professional employment upon graduation
The program provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the current engineering technology available to solve many of the technical problems confronting business, industry and government. The necessary background in math, physics and computer science is provided so that meaningful mathematical modeling can be applied.
Computer/microprocessor interfacing and programming are used extensively to demonstrate flexibility and simplicity in instrumentation design, communication, digital signal processing and controls.
Classical linear systems are presented to provide the student with an understanding of linear active filters, transient analysis, transducer interfacing, linearization, instrumentation, communications and systems control.
Students also design and build microprocessor/microcontroller systems that can be interfaced to the analog world.
EET students have an option to first pursue an EET Associate Degree in order to earn two degrees in four years.
Articulation
Cal U has articulation agreements with Associate Degree programs in Electrical Engineering Technology with Butler County Community College, Community College of Allegheny County-South Campus, Harrisburg Area Community College and Westmoreland County Community College.
Courses
Students of the EET program take 124 credits mixed between major (core) courses and general education. The following links detail the EET program and the core courses.
