Our ABET-accredited program prepares well-educated, highly
skilled, and socially and professionally responsible electrical
engineering technologists to have productive and rewarding careers
at local, state and national levels. Graduates are well grounded in
the fundamentals of engineering, mathematics, science,
communications, and problem solving.
Program Educational Objectives
The objectives of the Electrical Engineering Technology Program
are to:
- educate students to be practical and qualified engineering
technologists
- prepare engineering technologists who have problem solving
abilities and technical hands-on skills to enter professional
careers
- graduate engineering technologists who are
knowledgeable in design, application,
installation, manufacturing, operation and/or maintenance of
electrical/electronics systems.
Graduates will be socially and professionally responsible and
possess skills for life-long learning. To continuously improve the
quality of education, the program utilizes input from employers,
alumni, and an industry advisory board.
The EET program offers two options:
- Power Systems
- Electronic Systems
Power Systems Emphasis
Partnering with the Nuclear Power Institute (NPI), a power
systems track has been developed and put in practice to serve the
electrical engineering technology workforce needs for new or
existing nuclear power plants in the State of Texas. Our program
offers the following courses within this perspective:
- Energy Conversion
- Power Protection Systems
- Power Transmission & Distribution
Summer Camp for High School Teachers and
Students
A weeklong summer camp is planned for 2010 to train, prepare and
educate local area high school teachers and students about careers
in the nuclear power industry. A visit to a local nuclear power
plant (South Texas Project) is also being considered. This program
will provide participants firsthand knowledge that can be used to
translate math problems and science experiments to real life in the
nuclear power industry.
