Examples of Possible Careers and Salaries*

Accreditation

The A.A.S. degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology (Tuscarawas Campus only) is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

^{* Source of occupation titles and labor data comes from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook. Data comprises projected percent change in employment over the next 10 years; nation-wide employment numbers; and the yearly median wage at which half of the workers in the occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less.}

Full Description

The Associate of Applied Science degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology provides students with a core of engineering-related courses and a focus on digital and electronic systems, robotics, microsystems and the design/development of electrical and electronic circuits.

Electrical and electronics engineering technicians help engineers design and develop computers, communications equipment, medical monitoring devices, navigational equipment and other electrical and electronic equipment. They often work in product evaluation and testing, using measuring and diagnostic devices to adjust, test and repair equipment.

The degree program articulates with Kent State's Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology.
