Bachelor of Science - Engineering Technology - Electronics Engineering Technology

Program Description

East Tennessee State University's (ETSU) College of Business and Technology's Department of Engineering, Engineering Technology, and Surveying strives to develop ethical, knowledgeable, articulate, and skilled professionals by providing them with the fundamental principles and emerging technological concepts to advance and excel in their future careers.

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology—Electronics concentration combines scientific and engineering knowledge and methods into technical classes to provide students the knowledge base to support engineering activities. An electronic engineering technologist is a person who is knowledgeable in electronics theory and design and who understands state-of-the-art practices related to digital and analog circuits and systems, controls/ automation, robotics, instrumentation, and communications. Students in this program complete extensive lab work, preparing them with skills needed in many industrial and manufacturing settings.

An Electronics Engineering Technologist (EET) is a person who is knowledgeable in electronics theory and design and who understands state-of-the-art practices related to digital and analog circuits and systems, controls/ automation, robotics, instrumentation, and communications.  The EET program at ETSU requires an extensive lab component that gives students experience to start immediately in an industrial or manufacturing setting.  Our students participate in labs that provide exposure to 208VAC 3 phase power, industrial motor control, digital signal processors, instrumentation, process control, communications and robotics as well as labs on the fundamental concepts of electronics. 

The program prepares students for entry into the technical workforce. In particular, the department strives to ensure that its graduates have an ability to:

• Apply knowledge of science, mathematics, and engineering.
• Design, and conduct experiments as well as analyze and interpret data.
• Use existing technologies related to systems, components, or processes to meet employer needs.
• Function effectively in teams.
• Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
• Possess an understanding of professional and ethical standards.
• Be able to communicate effectively.

The Bachelors of Science degree in Electronic Engineering Technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET.
