ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
South Campus
The Associate of Applied Science degree in Electronic Engineering Technology program provides a strong background in electrical and electronic theory. The theory is further reinforced through practical laboratory work and experimentation. Emphasis throughout the program is on understanding principles that are basic to the broad utilization of electronics across a wide spectrum of industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. The program is designed to provide preparation for entry level jobs in a variety of occupations. Employment opportunities for those completing the program exist in the development, production, maintenance, sales, service, design, and manufacture of electronic circuitry and equipment as they relate to computers, industrial control, fiber optics, machine vision, robotics, automation, lasers, digital communication, system interfacing, programmable logic controllers, instrumentation and dynamometer labs, research and development, biomedical equipment and others.
Students interested in furthering their studies in the field of renewable energy may complement the Associate of Applied Science degrees in Automated Systems Technology - Mechatronics or Electronic Engineering Technology with the Renewable Energy Technology Certificate.
If you have questions about the program, contact the program advisors or call the Engineering Technology Office at 586.445.7435.

Students should plan Arts and Sciences courses with a counselor, academic advisor, or program advisor.
- Group II requirement is met by successfully completing PHYS-1180 or PHSA-1050.
Some universities in the area (Wayne State University and Lawrence Technological University among them) offer a degree in Bachelor of Science Engineering Technology (BSET). The Electronic Engineering Technology program from Macomb is transferable in total to most of these universities and articulation (transfer) agreements are in place. However, students pursuing the BSET should refer to the specific agreement for their university of choice. The agreements are available online at macomb.edu, or can be picked up at the Engineering Technology office at South Campus in R-124. These students should also see the program advisor at their selected university as soon as possible.
