Accreditation

The Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) Bachelor of Science degree is accredited by the Engineering Technical Accreditation Commission of ABET. This ensures that the program is independently reviewed and meets the quality expectation for that profession.

Through the different courses I attended, I gained a better understanding and a wealth of field knowledge of electrical engineering and computer science from dedicated and experienced professors who were always there to help. Participating in the final project of each course was one of my best learning experiences. It gave me an opportunity to apply what I was learning in the classroom to a real-life work setting. The experience I received in this hands-on learning environment was extremely valuable for my current job, as it has not only taught me how to work and contribute as a team member but also granted me open doors to the competitive work market.

Parvizsho Aminov – EET Alumni

I feel very confident of my abilities and skills as an Electrical Engineer. The balance between theoretical and practical classes is good enough to gain the essential knowledge about the program. Being a member in Tau Alpha Pi national honor society for engineering technology, gave me the chance to meet with other outstanding students in the same field and exchange our experiences as well as improve my communication skills.

Hassan Alibrahim – EET Alumni

Throughout my years here I have taken many courses, and I have yet to have a professor that I did not like. All the professors that I have had are nice, knowledgeable in their fields, and are willing to work with the students. The class environments are always very welcoming and feel as though they are a good place to learn.
