EET Electives
Students must choose three pre-approved EET Electives:
- ETEC.2720 Introduction to Alternative Energy (3cr) - Available Spring 2026!
- ETEC.3530 Digital Electronics (3cr)
- ETEC.3680 Data Conversion and Laboratory (3cr)
- ETEC.4030 Foundations of Microwave Design (3cr)
- ETEC.4270 Digital Signal Processing (3cr)
- ETEC.4590 Power Conversion Design I (3cr)
- ETEC.4690 Control Systems II (3cr)
- ETEC.4770 Electromagnetic Theory II (3cr)
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.
Industrial Experience and Capstone
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 a capstone course. To obtain credit toward a capstone, the students must do the following:
- Register for a capstone course
- Write a detailed outline for the project intended to be used for credit
- Write a report on the project including the outline, the project's purpose and operation
- Obtain a letter from their supervisor at work stating
that they have contributed to the project
- Give a presentation on all work collected describing the project in detail
Up to 6 credits can be received for industrial projects in capstone courses.
Graduate Study
Students who want to earn a graduate degree at UMass Lowell can take
three EET technical electives from among courses that are more
mathematically intense and required to enter the graduate program.
See the Electrical and Computer Engineering Graduate Advisor for
details.
