About the Program
Purdue Polytechnic Institute
The electrical engineering principles you will learn can be applied in a wide range of careers, including biomedical, green energy, transportation, communications, entertainment and manufacturing. Our graduates have played a part in scientific advancements in a variety of industries. They have impacted lives and improved everyday uses of technology and learn to work with microcontrollers, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA), Digital Signal Processors (DSP), embedded Systems-On-a-Chip (SOC), embedded workstations, and distributed computing platforms and more.
Students in this program can apply to participate in a five-year combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program in electrical engineering technology.
The electrical engineering technology degree is program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
This program is also offered at the Purdue College of Technology statewide locations in Kokomo, New Albany, and South Bend.
