Electrical Engineering Technology
Program Summary
The mission of the Engineering Technology
Electrical Engineering Technology at Central
Ohio Technical College is to produce
technically trained personnel who understand
the electrical and electronic aspects of
systems.
On the electrical engineering technology
side, courses will prepare the students to
develop, test, and supervise manufacturing
of electrical equipment such as electric
motors, radar and navigation systems,
communications systems, and power
generation equipment.
On the electronics side the courses will
prepare students to develop electronic
equipment such as computers, computer
networks, automated systems, broadcast
and communications systems—from portable
music players to global positioning systems
(GPS). Graduates will also acquire
knowledge in the IT related field through
technical elective courses.
These technicians will play a key role in
many aspects of today’s highly technical
environment, and they are prepared to
assume leadership roles.
Electrical Engineering Technology awards
the Associate of Applied Science Degree in
Engineering Technology. The curriculum
covers:
 Basic Electricity
 Basic Analog & Digital Circuits
 Computer Systems
 Computer Network Systems
 Data Communications Circuits &
Systems
 Radio Frequency Circuits

Students learn in the classroom and in
hands- on laboratories that use a mixture of
actual components and computer simulations
for microprocessors and Multisim software
for circuit simulation. To accommodate
working students, most courses are available
during the evening, and students may enroll
full or part-time.
Program Educational Objectives
Program Educational Objectives describe
what graduates are expected to know and be
able to do after graduation or with a few
years of experience.
 Successfully apply fundamental
mathematical, scientific, and
engineering technology principles in
formulating and solving electrical
engineering problems.
 Successfully apply the procedures and
steps for diagnosing a problem.
 Work competently in one or more core
electrical engineering technology areas
of practice.
 Develop improved skills and new skills
to enhance the state of their practice in
a dynamic professional environment.
 Work effectively and conduct
themselves ethically in their
professional environment.
 Acquire new knowledge by being a
member or part of professional
organizations and keeping themselves
up to date of the new advances in the
electrical engineering technology field.
