Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Electronics Systems Engineering Technology

The program educational objectives (PEOs) are broad statements describing the career and professional accomplishments that the Electronics Systems Engineering Technology program is preparing graduates to achieve. The BS degree with an area of study in Electronics Systems Engineering Technology (ESET) strives to produce qualified and competent applied technology engineering professionals who can immediately make substantial contributions to their employers.

The PEOs are to:

1. demonstrate a desire and commitment to remain technically current through formal training, self-improvement, and continuing education, while applying skills that involve both practical and acquired knowledge;
2. demonstrate a commitment to increased levels of leadership and responsibilities in the electronics field;
3. function effectively in a professional/industrial environment while maintaining independent thought, a focus on safety and efficiency, and adherence to ethical standards;
4. demonstrate ongoing commitment to professionalism through teamwork as a leader or influential team member in the solution of technical challenges/issues; and
5. advocate for the industry through membership/involvement with professional/communal/educational societal, committees, and panels.

1. Demonstrate 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. Demonstrate an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
3. Demonstrate 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. Demonstrate an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
5. Demonstrate an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

Students are encouraged to schedule and complete planning sessions with academic advisors. Academic advisors discuss and elaborate on recommended course sequence and prerequisites in these advising sessions.

The advised sequence of courses (suggested prerequisite requirements) is as follows:

• Calculus I (MAT-2310) prior to Calculus II (MAT-2320)
• Physics I with Lab (PHY-1150), prior to Physics II with Lab (PHY-1160)
• Physics II with Lab (PHY-1160) prior to Solid State Devices and Circuits with Lab (ELT-3060)
• DC Circuits with Lab (ELE-2110) and AC Circuits with Lab (ELE-2120) prior to Solid State Devices and Circuits with Lab (ELT-3060) and Linear and Integrated Circuits with Lab (ELT-3070)
• ELT-3060 and ELT-3070 prior to Digital Electronics with Lab (ELD-3020)
• ELT-3060 and ELT-3070 prior to Microprocessors with Lab (ELD-3110)
• ELT-3060 and ELT-3070 prior to Electronic Communication Systems with Lab (ELC-2010)
• ELT-3060 and ELT-3070 prior to Electronic Instrumentation & Control (CTR-2110)
• All ESET AOS courses should be completed prior to Electronics Assessment/Career Planning (APS/ELT4900)
• Electronics Assessment/Career Planning (APS/ELT-4900) prior to Electronics Systems Engineering Technology Capstone (ELT-4950)

The following summarizes the prescribed sequence above:

• PHY-1150 prior to PHY-1160
• MAT-2310 prior to MAT-2320
• PHY-1160 prior to ELT-3060
• ELE-2110 and ELE-2120 prior to ELT-3060 and ELT-3007
• ELT-3060 and ELT-3070 prior to ELD-3020, ELD-3110, ELC-2010, and CTR-2110
• All AOS courses prior to ELT-4900
• ELT/APS-4900 prior to ELT-4950
