EETH Program Outcomes Features

Each Electronics Engineering Technology graduate will demonstrate the following attributes upon certification for graduation from the program:

a.1. Knowledge of Electronics: the use of electronic circuits to solve engineering problems.
a.2. Knowledge of Programming: The use of appropriate languages as well as PLC programming methods.
a.3. Knowledge of digital systems and computer hardware: interfacing to microcomputers and microprocessors, the use of simulation tools in analysis and design, and the development of embedded software.
a.4. Knowledge of electronic communications systems: application, design, implementation & maintenance of analog & digital communication systems.
a.5. Knowledge of automation and control systems: the design and implementation of control systems for manufacturing and other applications.
b.1. By progression through required coursework, students will demonstrate the ability to effectively use information acquisition tools, implement technology, and incorporate emerging technology into problem solutions as they adapt to new methods and techniques presented in the coursework.
c.1. Through coursework and laboratory exercises, students will develop the ability to conduct experiments as appropriate to the Computer/Electronics/Manufacturing Engineering Technology program.  These exercises require the collection and analysis of data pertinent to exercise objectives, and further interpretation and application of the experimental results to the improvement of practical systems, devices, and processes.
d.1. Creativity and innovation comes from the free association of ideas to solve problems that have not been solved by following current methods.  The student will demonstrate the ability to apply systematic methods and techniques to generate original solutions.
e.1. The ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary groups; can identify the different roles group members can fulfill, recognize and respect different personality styles, display leadership qualities, and reconcile differences.
f.1. The ability to apply a systematic approach to the solution of problems.  This includes the ability to identify and analyze a problem from various perspectives and concisely define its scope; propose alternative solutions and techniques; assess viability of potential solutions; and to anticipate the impact of proposed problem solutions.
g.1. The ability to produce effective written documents, deliver effective oral presentations, develop, prepare and interpret effective visual information and communicate effectively with a specific audience or client.
h.1. The ability to develop and pursue a plan for further professional development and a pursuit of learning activities to achieve depth of knowledge in chosen field of work.  Is able to engage in self-directed learning and able to self-assess their learning.  Develops an increasing knowledge of current and emerging technologies.
i.1. Understanding of the expectations and responsibilities of a technologist employed in the public or private sector.  Identify the professional and ethical standards that apply to the field of engineering technology.
j.1. Understand the impact of technologies on society through examination of various legal, international, social, and commercial issues.  Understands and values cultural diversity; is aware of international variations in approaches, and globalization of business.
