Certificate Programs
THREE AVAILABLE CERTIFICATES
Along with the EET Major and its three Concentrations, the EET program also has three certificate programs. Two of the certificate areas are available also as a Minor to majors outside of the EET program: Electrical Engineering Technology, and Network Communications. The Third Certificate called Engineering Fundamentals is used by EE and EET's who wish to gain a greater knowledge of material found on the Engineering Fundamentals exam.
The following codes apply to the certificates: Electrical Engineering Technology = CEE, Network Communications = CNC, Engineering Fundamentals = CEF.
Certificate Contact Person is Mr. Keith J. Ball.
Additional requirements for certificates within the EET program:
- Any course used to satisfy a prerequisite for an EET course must have a grade of "C" or better.
- Maximum transfer of six credit hours.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY CERTIFICATE (also available as a minor )
- Students that are considering the path from the EET certificate to an EET major should complete the following courses as part of the certificate: EET 1140, EET 1150, EET 2140, EET 2150, and EET 2340.
- EET majors may apply for the EET certificate, as they work toward completion of the major.
