Why our program?
Electronic and computer engineering technology gives you the tools to go into any field and any career and leave your mark. From circuit theory to radio frequency communication to microprocessors and more, you'll learn it all at the Aerospace and Technology Campus. Your projects are innovative, working with hardware like the raspberry pi, a small low-cost computer, to collect sensor data and control lights, motors, and more. The skills you'll develop in your labs are transferrable to endless areas: build music visualizers, semi-autonomous robots, battery monitoring systems for unmanned aircraft – your possibilities are limitless!
Electrical engineers need to be able to think outside the box and work across various workgroups and specialty areas. You need to be able to design, build, test, troubleshoot and implement projects and technologies. At the Aerospace and Technology Campus, you'll learn the foundations for these skills, and you'll continue to expand these skills through your lab work and projects. You'll also work together with other engineering students to produce a project you've designed – further developing collaborative skills highly desired by industry.
Labs paired with each core course ensure you are learning electrical engineering material in our innovative, hands-on style. You'll create your own circuit boards and power systems, and program your own processor to develop a fully functioning computer hardware system.
Your projects focus on utilizing up-to-date tools and systems to develop and build things with real-world applications such as weather stations, data sensors, guidance systems and more.
Electronic and computer engineering technology equips you with the skills needed to design, build, test, troubleshoot and implement projects and technologies. Being a small, tight-knit campus, you also have the ability to work with other engineering technology students to produce the project you conceptualized and designed.
