Overview
An online degree in Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) with a concentration in Digital Electronics prepares students for roles in circuit design, digital systems, and troubleshooting through courses in analog/digital electronics, microprocessors, and control systems.
Learn to use math and computers to solve circuit problems, test equipment and apply electronics fundamentals to address real-world problems. This program will prepare you for employment in multiple industries, including consumer electronics, telecommunications, and semiconductors - wherever there is a need for the design, testing, and manufacturing of electrical hardware and software.
The online EET program emphasizes practical application, troubleshooting, and hands-on skills with electronic systems, unlike traditional pure engineering degrees. The curriculum covers electric circuits, digital logic, microprocessors, PLCs, control systems, network technologies, and embedded systems. Courses are provided in diverse formats including recorded lectures (like Canvas / Online class), online assignments, virtual labs, and flexible scheduling to accommodate students.
