Electronics Engineering Technology - Mercer County Community College

Electronics Engineering Technology from Mercer County Community College is a Campus Associate Electrical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) program is primarily a transfer program. Successful graduates may transfer to a college or university which offers a four-year bachelor's degree in electronics engineering technology. Mercer County Community College's EET program maintains a transfer agreement with the ECET program of NJIT. Other options for EET graduates include Rowan, Drexel, and Rutgers universities. Several of these institutions have programs which allow EET graduates to complete the requirements for a BSET degree in two years or a Master of Science (MSEE) in three years. Options among four-year transfer programs include Biomedical Engineering , for job opportunities at the various New Jersey pharmaceutical companies; Computer Engineering, for positions ranging from programmers to systems administrators; General Electrical Engineering , for opportunities at the various electronics companies in New Jersey and the surrounding states; and Telecommunications Engineering, for positions with companies employing fiber optics or networking systems. Successful graduates of Mercer's EET program, earning an A.A.S. degree , will be able to: communicate effectively in English, both orally and in written form; demonstrate an understanding of the fundamentals of AC and DC electricity; work as a team with fellow workers; use a computer to access information from the Internet; demonstrate mastery of college algebra and trigonometry; demonstrate mastery of job skills such as soldering, metalworking, and PC board repair; demonstrate an understanding of fundamental digital circuits; demonstrate an understanding of analog circuits, including linear integrated circuits; set up and operate modern electronic equipment such as DMM, oscilloscope, and signal generators. Admission requires a high school diploma or its equivalent, with two years of algebra desired. One year of laboratory science (chemistry or physics) is strongly recommended for students who intend to transfer to a baccalaureate degree program. Graduates may begin work directly as electronic technicians , electronic technologists, engineering aides, customer engineers, field service engineers, junior engineers, associate engineers, sales engineers, and systems test technicians. These positions are in the electronics industry, communications , medical instrumentation, energy technology , digital and computer technology, and scientific or technological research and development. Students planning to transfer should achieve mathematics proficiency at the calculus level and should select physics as their science/technology electives. They will be advised individually during their first session with an EET program advisor. The college offers a related certificate program in Electronics Engineering Technology , which may be a desirable option for employed persons attending college part-time. In a particular year, some required courses may be available only during the day or evening. View more details on Mercer County Community College .
