EET B.S. Plan of study
Bachelor of Science Degree Program (B.S.)
The B.S. degree programs in EET at West Lafayette and Kokomo are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)
Students who successfully complete the program of study for the A.S. degree may continue their education in the B.S. degree program. The B.S. degree program prepares students for positions as technologists in a variety of industries such as industrial automation, power, telecommunications, and manufacturing. The plan of study provides additional coursework in electrical engineering technology as well as courses in related topics that provide background information in both technical and nontechnical subjects. The upper two years allows considerable flexibility to concentrate in a number of different areas, including analog electronics, digital systems, microcomputer systems, RF communications, industrial control, and electrical power. In addition, the department offers a Computer Engineering Technology (CpET) option within the EET program.
The technologist ordinarily is involved with various components and subsystems of an overall system designed by engineers. Some become technical supervisors. The technologist's role evolved during the 1960s and will continue to evolve in the coming decades as a technically trained "organizer-doer." Graduates are eligible for certification as Associate Engineering Technologists and eventually Certified Engineering Technologists.
The following programs are effective with students entering the B.S. program at West Lafayette beginning with the Fall of 2004.
