Ignite a Career in Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology
The electrical/electronic engineering technology (EEET) associate in applied science (AAS) program trains students to work as technical assistants with scientists and engineers. The program emphasizes practical experience and teaches skills such as drawing interpretation, testing procedures and data compilation. Mechanical aptitude and a background in math and science are beneficial for prospective students.
What is Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology at
St. Louis Community College?
Electrical/electronic engineering technology is a field that focuses on the practical application of electrical principles and electronics. Professionals in this field design, develop, test and maintain electrical systems and electronic devices, working in various industries such as manufacturing, controls and automation.
Through classroom work and practical experience in technology laboratories, you will learn:
- Electrical/electronic theory and its application to analog and digital circuitry
- To prepare and interpret engineering drawings
- To perform testing procedures
- To compile technical data
- System and component troubleshooting
What Can You Do as an Electrical/Electronic Engineer?
With an electrical/electronic engineering technology associate degree you can work as an electrical or electronics technician. You'll assist in designing, testing and maintaining electrical systems and electronic equipment, often in roles like engineering technician, electronics technician or electrical drafter in industries like manufacturing or telecommunications.
Electrical and electronics engineering technicians assist engineers in the design and development of:
- Computers
- Communications equipment
- Robotic manufacturing equipment
- Medical devices
- Navigational equipment
- Power distribution systems
- Other electrical/electronic equipment
If you’ve earned a certificate of specialization in biomedical electronics technology, some of your credits can apply toward your electrical/electronic engineering technology AAS degree. Learn more about stackable credentials within this career pathway.
