About Electronics Engineering
Technology
Western offers two-year A.S. and four-year B.S.
degree programs in electronics engineering technology.
The four-year program leading to a B.S. degree in
electronics engineering technology is accredited by the Technology
Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology (TAC of ABET). It is the only four-year program
in electronics engineering technology that is accredited by TAC
of ABET in the State of Missouri at a public state-supported four-year
institution. The B.S. degree program is a broad-based technical
program and has strong foundations in mathematics, basic and engineering
sciences, computers, and has excellent blend of theory and practice
of electrical/electronics engineering and technology principles.
The curriculum is designed to train students in the fundamentals
of electronics applications via hands-on experimentation in a
variety of laboratory settings.
Like the B.S. degree program, the A.S. degree program
is a strong technical program. It has a strong foundation in electrical
circuits, CADD, and electronic principles. The program is applications-oriented
in the areas of semiconductor devices and microcomputers. Students
are given an excellent training in hands-on experimentation in
laboratories.
The program educational objectives for BS EET graduates
are:
-
Demonstrate the ability
to analyze, design, and implement
electronic systems in one or more
of the areas related to control
systems, instrumentation systems,
communications systems, computer
systems, or power systems.
-
Function
effectively in a group environment
in the industrial workplace through
demonstration of technical and
communication skills.
-
Understand professional,
ethical, and social responsibilities.
-
Show respect for
diversity and knowledge of contemporary
professional, societal and global
issues.
-
Demonstrate a commitment
to quality, timeliness, and continuous
improvement.
-
Continue professional
development through life-long learning.
