Electrical Engineering Technology, BS

About the Program

When you study electrical engineering technology, you study the lifeblood of today’s technology: electronics and computers. Electronics technology is a part of most everything society relies on, from air conditioning to airplanes, and from trains to televisions. And because technology is constantly evolving, you will be engaged in learning methods that will help you adapt to and embrace new technologies and their uses.

Students in this program can apply to participate in a five-year combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program in electrical engineering technology.

    Notes

    *Fulfills University Core Curriculum requirement.

    ** Human Cultures Behavioral/Social Science for University Core may be selected to satisfy either the Business Selective or a General Education Selective requirement.

    1. 120 semester credits and a 2.0 Graduation GPA are required for the Bachelor of Science degree.
    2. Students must earn a “D-” or better in all courses. Pass/no pass grading allowed for General Education Selectives and Free Electives (up to 15 hrs).
    3. Courses at Purdue University may only be attempted a maximum of three (3) times, including W, WF, I, IF and all graded attempts.
    4. Senior Capstone Selective I/II and 12 hours of ECET Selectives must be taken at the Purdue University location conferring the degree.
    5. 32 credit hours of 300-level or higher courses must be completed at Purdue University.

    Choose from list: Refer to the Supplemental Information sheet for 2016-17 Electrical Engineering Technology for a complete list of selectives and requirements.

    Degree Requirement

    The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements.

    The myPurduePlan powered by DegreeWorks is the knowledge source for specific requirements and completion.

    Critical Course

    The ♦ course is considered critical. A Critical Course is one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major.

    Foreign Language Courses
