EET Educational Objectives—Associate of Science Program
The Associate of Science degree program in Electrical
Engineering Technology (EET) is a highly structured, laboratory-based
curriculum that combines hands-on practice with the appropriate
basic electrical and electronic theory. The program is applications-oriented
and is designed to prepare well rounded technicians who will
compete and succeed in one or more of the fields related to
electrical engineering technology.
The Educational Objectives of the EET Associate
of Science Degree Program at Purdue University are to produce
graduates who:
- Have technical and professional skills
that prepare them for immediate employment as an electrical
or electronics technician and to add value to their company
within a short time after employment.
- Apply basic physics theory, circuit
analysis methods, algebra, trigonometry, computer programming,
and software simulation to build, test, operate and maintain
electrical/electronic systems.
- Communicate effectively in oral, written,
and graphical forms at a level appropriate to an electrical/electronics
technician.
- Work effectively both individually as
a technician and as a member of a team that may include
a diverse range of engineering and engineering technology
skills.
- Demonstrate a high standard of professional
ethics and are cognizant of social concerns as they relate
to the practice of engineering technology.
- Continue their education through short
courses, industrial training, and/or continuation toward
a bachelor’s degree.
EET Educational Objectives—Bachelor
of Science Program
The EET Bachelor of Science degree program continues
the applications-oriented nature of the Associate program,
and offers a number of elective sequences together with a
solid foundation in project development and management. Graduates
will be capable of competing and succeeding in engineering-related
positions in one or more of the fields related to electrical
engineering technology.
The Educational Objectives of the EET Baccalaureate
Degree Program at Purdue University are to produce graduates
who:
- Have technical and professional skills
that prepare them for immediate employment in an electrical
or electronics engineering related capacity and to add value
to their company within a short time after employment.
- Analyze, design, and implement control
systems, communications systems, computer systems, or power
systems utilizing mathematical methods including statistics/probability,
transform methods, discrete mathematics, or applied differential
equations.
- Communicate effectively in oral, written,
and graphical forms at a level appropriate to an electrical
or electronics technologist.
- Work effectively, individually and as
a member or leader of a multidisciplinary team.
- Demonstrate a high standard of professional
ethics and are cognizant of social concerns as they relate
to the practice of engineering technology.
- Continue their education through short
courses, industrial training, and/or participation in a
graduate program.
- Apply project management techniques to
EET projects.
