Description | Sample Course Schedule
Description
The Electrical Engineering Technology (2EET) major helps prepare graduates for technical positions in the expanding fields of electronics, computers and microprocessors, instrumentation, and electrical equipment. The primary objective is to provide a broad foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge in the areas of electrical and electronic circuits, digital circuits, computers, electrical machinery, and programmable logic controls. The program also articulates with Pennsylvania Department of Education-approved Tech Prep programs. Secondary students who have graduated from a program covered by a signed Penn State Articulation Agreement may be eligible for special admission procedures and /or advanced placement. The major prepares graduates who, during the first few years of professional practice, will:
• Demonstrate broad knowledge of electrical and electronics engineering technology practices to support design, application, installation, manufacturing, operation, and maintenance of electrical, electronic, computer, and instrumentation systems,
• Apply basic mathematical and scientific principles for technical problem solving in areas that may include circuit analysis of both analog and digital electronics, microprocessors, programmable logic controls, and electrical machines,
• Use computers and software in a technical environment,
• Demonstrate competence in written and oral communication,
• Work effectively as an individual and as a member of a multidisciplinary team,
• Show awareness of social concerns and professional responsibilities in the workplace, and
• Continue their professional training and adapt to changes in the workplace, through additional formal or informal education.
Graduates of the Electrical Engineering Technology major may qualify for admission to the baccalaureate degree majors in Electrical Engineering Technology or Computer Engineering Technology offered at Penn State Harrisburg, Capital College; the baccalaureate degree major in Electrical Engineering Technology at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College; or the baccalaureate degree major in Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology offered at Penn State Altoona, Penn State Berks, Penn State York or Penn State New Kensington.
For the Associate in Engineering Technology degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, a minimum of 66 credits is required. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., www.abet.org.

- Bold type indicates courses requiring a quality grade of C or better.
- Italic type indicates courses that satisfy both major and General Education requirements.
- Italic Bold typeindicates courses requiring a quality grade of C or better and that satisfy both major and General Education requirements.
- GWS, GHA, GQ, GN, GA, GH, and GS are codes used to identify General Education requirements.
- US, IL, and US;IL are codes used to designate courses that satisfy University United States/International Cultures requirements.
- W is the code used to designate courses that satisfy University Writing Across the Curriculum requirement.
Program Notes:
*As long as one Arts (GA), one Humanities (GH), and one Social Science (GS) are taken across the four semesters, the particular order in which these courses are taken is not relevant. One of these courses must all satisfy the US or IL cultures requirement.
STS 200 is strongly encouraged to be scheduled as the GS course of choice to satisfy accreditation requirements.
