ECET Educational Objectives
The Bachelor of Science degree program in Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) is highly structured during the first two years and relatively flexible during the upper two years. The program provides a laboratory-based curriculum that combines hands-on practice with the appropriate basic electrical and electronic theory. It is applications-oriented and is designed to prepare well rounded graduates who will compete and succeed in one or more of the fields related to electrical engineering technology.
The Educational Objectives of the EET Bachelor of Science Degree Program at Purdue University are to produce graduates who:
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) Communicate effectively in oral, written, and graphical forms at a level appropriate to an electrical or electronics technologist.
(4) Work effectively, individually and as a member or leader of a multidisciplinary team.
(5) Demonstrate a high standard of professional ethics and are cognizant of social concerns as they relate to the practice of engineering technology.
(6) Continue their education through short courses, industrial training, and/or participation in a graduate program.
(7) Apply project management techniques to EET projects
