The Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronic Engineering Technology is designed to prepare graduates for employment in a variety of fields, including consumer electronics, telecommunications, and semiconductors - wherever there is a need for the design, testing, and manufacturing of hardware and software for all things electrical. The curriculum focuses on the application of electronics principles and critical thinking to the solution of practical problems. Students learn to use math and computers to solve circuit problems, they learn about equipment testing, and they learn how to apply the technologies they learn and the fundamentals of electronics to address real-world problems. The program also prepares highly motivated students who are interested in continuing their studies to pursue an advanced degree in Electrical Engineering at UMass Lowell.
The amount of time it takes for a student to complete this degree will depend upon the individual student's course load. Students can also earn the Associate of Science in Electronic Engineering Technology (64 credits) as they pursue the Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering Technology (128 credits). Many of the courses taken toward this degree can be applied toward a related Certificate Program in Introduction to Electronic Engineering Technology, allowing students to earn additional credentials as they pursue their degree.
Students enrolling in this program should purchase an electronic calculator capable of handling logarithmic and trigonometric functions. The use of the calculator will be an integral part of courses ETEC.2130 and ETEC.2140, where proficiency will be developed. Competency in the use of the calculator will be assumed in all subsequent EET courses.
Note: Although some of the courses in this program are available online, the majority of the courses are only available on campus.
The Bachelor of Science Engineering Technology Degree in the Electronic Engineering Technology Program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD, (410) 347-7700.
See the UMass Lowell Francis College of Engineering Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes for the Engineering Technology degree programs.
Students must choose four pre-approved EET Electives:
Students who want to take more computer courses may complete the EET degree by fulfilling the EET technical electives with computer courses at the 3000/4000 level. See the EET advisor for details.
Appropriate industrial experience is very important for students in the Electronic Engineering Technology program. Students who have a few years industrial experience and have worked on a specific project in a high-technology company can use this experience as part of the Project Laboratory courses. To obtain credit for a Project Laboratory, the students must do the following:
a. Register for Project Laboratory;
b. Write an outline for the project intended to be used for credit;
c. Write a report on the project;
d. Give a presentation; AND
e. Obtain a letter from their supervisor at work that they have
contributed to the project.
Up to 4 credits can be received for industrial projects in two Project Laboratories.
All bachelor's degree candidates are required to earn a minimum 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA), to present a minimum of 128 semester hours, to fulfill the residency requirements, to conform to the general regulations and requirements of the University, to satisfy the regulations and academic standards of the colleges which exercise jurisdiction over the degrees for which they are matriculating, to satisfy the curriculum requirements established by the departments or programs in their major, and to complete the University's Core Curriculum requirements, which are listed within the program's curriculum outline.
