The Division of Engineering Technology at Florida A&M University offers students a broad spectrum of academic opportunities to continue their education and professional development. The academic programs of the Division offer unique experiences for our students, while promoting teaching, research, conference participations, networking with industry, and outreach into the community.
THE ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY degree program offers a curriculum that focuses on electrical and electronic devices, circuits, systems, and equipment; with emphasis on applications, design and hands-on experience. The field of electronic engineering technology is the largest engineering technology discipline as it is critical in today’s high technology growth industries such as, wireless communications, computer networking, RF and microwave circuits and systems. Through the EET program, students are trained to work in various areas, such as electronic communications, digital systems and computing, microwave circuits and systems, automatic control systems and robotics, audio and video systems, and medical electronics. Most courses have a required laboratory component in which skills in the use of computers for problems solving, application and use of modern electronic test equipment and microprocessors are developed. Students completing the four-year program receive a B.S. degree in Electronic Engineering Technology. The program at FAMU is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ETAC-ABET).
GRADUATES of the Electronic Engineering Technology program can find employment in the development and testing of new communication devices; designing specialized electronics; supervision of the manufacturing of the electronic devices; the field of instrumentation and automation; and the computing industry as hardware or software technologists. Furthermore, graduates of the program are equipped to pursue graduate studies in such fields as Engineering, Engineering Technology, Computer Science and
Management.
SALARIES: According to the PayScale.com 2010-11 College Salary Report, the starting median annual salary for electrical and electronic engineering technologists were over $55,000 and a mid-career median salary of above $85,000.
A TOTAL OF 126 SEMESTER CREDIT HOURS is required to complete the program that includes courses in Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Programming,
Speech, and Technical Writing, as well as major courses and technical electives in Electronic Engineering Technology.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION include a high school diploma or equivalent with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Furthermore, Community College graduates and students who want to transfer are also encouraged to apply.
