Electronics and computers permeate every part of our lives, and will continue to grow in importance and in complexity. This growth can provide exciting, challenging, and rewarding career opportunities for forward-looking students in Electronics Engineering Technology. Engineering technology is that part of the technological field that requires the application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills in support of engineering activities. The mission of the EET program at SDSU is to provide the student a solid foundation in electronics, with the flexibility to engage in technical support, design and development, production or technical management; to provide technical assistance to existing and emerging businesses, industry, and government; and to prepare the student for lifelong learning.
EET program graduates use their technical and practical proficiency to implement and extend current technology, and may develop prototype products, optimize designs, manage system operations, or provide technical customer support. Graduates secure jobs in computer network installation and administration, electronics design, production support, customer support, and test engineering. These electronics professionals take a hands-on approach to applying engineering methods and principles. Their broad range of knowledge prepares them to engage in lifelong learning as new technologies emerge and to progress in their professional responsibilities.
To meet industry's need for this type of worker, the EET program blends theoretical concepts with practical lab work, resulting in graduates who are well-grounded in current technology and in electronics principles and applications. Coursework integrates interpersonal and communication skills and relates electronics theory and applications to the real world. In addition, the student will gain a background in production management skills. Students learn fundamental electronics technology applications and theory during the first two years of their program. During the last half of the program, students focus on one of three emphasis areas: business, computer networking, or industrial electronics. The computer networking emphasis is designed to prepare students to work with the installation of new systems, and the maintenance of existing Local-Area-Networks (LANs), resolving hardware and software issues. An emphasis is placed on the complete system, including management of the system, personnel, and information exchanged.
