Minors

Minors are offered through a variety of disciplines. The discipline offering the minor establishes the requirement. A minor is not required.

The Electrical Engineering Technology minor cannot be added to this major.

Double Majors within the Electrical Engineering Technology Program

Within the PIECET-BS Program, double majors of AUET or CEGT or ENET are allowed without restriction. A double major with EETC requires an additional 12 hours of ECET courses. The additional courses will fulfill the EETC major for the purposes of double majors. The additional courses have the following restrictions:

No 100-level course may be used.
Only three (3) credits of a 200-level course may be used, excluding: ECET 22400 Electronic Systems, ECET 29000 International Experience and ECET 29900 Selected EET Subjects, which may not be used.
All courses must be taken on the PWL and/or PSW campuses.

Intercultural Requirement

Step 1: Complete the Pre-test Intercultural Development Inventory Assessments (1st year)

Step 2: Complete one (1) of the following global experiences:*

Participate in A Purdue University international capstone, collaborative project, or
Participate in an international internship (international location), or
Participate in a full semester abroad program program, or
Complete 3 credit hours from the Polytechnic list of recommended Global/Cultural courses.

*Global experiences must take place during the time of enrollment in Polytechnic to complete Step 2. Experiences taken place prior to a student’s initial enrollment will not serve to complete Step 2. Intercultural competencies gained on experiences prior to Polytechnic enrollment will be captured as baseline data on a student’s IDI.

Professional Requirement

The SOET Professional Experience requirement is intended to document those experiences which help expose SOET students to the expectations of their professional prior to graduation. This may occur through industrial experience, technical or administrative involvement with community service, military service, et cetera. Approval has been granted for the following experiences. Additional experiences may also satisfy this graduation requirement. Requests for approval should be submitted to the SOET Curriculum Subcommittee Chair for consideration, allowing at least four academic weeks for review and response.

Table 1: Approved Professional Experiences

Approval by	Experience
Automatic	Any TECH Professional Practice course (co-op, intern, etc.)
Automatic	MET 29900 Internship for Credit
Automatic	EPICS courses, minimum of two
Advisor	Any approved internship (assuming student and/or employer provide documentation)
Advisor	Military service (ROTC completion, reservist, active duty, veteran)
Faculty	Supervised undergraduate research experiences or laboratory assistantships (e.g., employed in the AEL as lab technician)
Faculty	Independent study - by petition to ensure the project meets the spirit of the requirement
Faculty	Professional society/club activities (e.g., led the Solar Racing team) - by petition
Faculty	Any approved employment or industry project.

*Approval Key:

Automatic - student participation in this professional experience is already documented through existing means.
Advisor - advisor reviews student’s experience to determine if it meets the spirit of the Professional Experience requirement.
Faculty - designated committee reviews student’s experience to determine if it meets the spirit of the Professional Experience requirement.
