Bachelor of Science in electrical/electronic engineering technology

The bachelor's degree in electrical/electronic engineering technology (BSEET) prepares students for diverse and dynamic careers in industry. Electrical/electronic engineering technologists use the principals of science and math to solve problems in industry and business, both in the public and privatize sectors. They work alongside engineers, independently, as well as in a supervisory capacity. This field is in touch with a wide and growing range of applications of technology, and therefore has many applications in today's workforce.

Our program

The BSEET program emphasizes hands-on laboratory experiences, and courses stress the practical application of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve real world problems.

Accreditation

The Bachelor of Science in electrical/electronic engineering technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical/Electronic(s) Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Programs.

Enrollment and graduation statistics

Detailed information on enrollment and graduation can be obtained through the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).

Program educational objectives:

Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation. Program educational objectives are based on the needs of the program's constituencies.

PEO-1 To produce graduates who attain gainful employment and practice successfully in electrical or electronic related engineering technology professions;

PEO-2 To produce graduates who remain technically current and adapt to rapidly changing technologies through continuous learning and self-improvement;

PEO-3 To produce graduates who demonstrate independent thinking and function effectively in teams to solve open-ended problems in a professional environment;

PEO-4 To produce graduates who communicate effectively and perform ethically and professionally in business, industry, and society.

Student outcomes

Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program.

Student outcomes for the EET program are:

1. an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
2. an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
3. an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
4. an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
5. an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

Course sequence

Since our students are coming from many different community colleges and technical backgrounds they transfer to Wayne State with varying amounts of credits. It is difficult to prescribe a semester-by-semester plan that would fit each individual student's situation, so instead students should reach out to the academic advisor to ensure they are taking the correct classes each semester.

NOTE:

• Students who try to take classes out of order can be administratively withdrawn. It is also very important that students get a C- or better in a class that is listed as a prerequisite to another class.
  • Please see the academic bulletin for prerequisite requirements
• Transfer credits are subject to WSU Transfer Student Statute and may be revised.
• Minimum 30 credits must be earned from WSU including 24 credits from Div. of Engineering Technology
• WSU General Education Requirement includes: (a) Foundational Competencies for BC, IC, OC, and  (b) Inquiries in QR, CI, CIV, SI, NSI, DEI, GL
