Electrical Engineering Technology

Associate in Applied Science Degree Program

Curricular Map

The Program Educational Objectives for the Associate in Applied Science degree are stated below:

PEO1: The ability to analyze, design, and implement control systems, instrumentation systems, communications systems, computer systems, or power systems.

PEO2: The ability to apply project management techniques to electrical/electronic(s) systems.

The learned capabilities of graduates of the AAS degree program as prescribed by ETAC of ABET are stated below:

a. an ability to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined engineering technology activities;

b. an ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge;

c. an ability to conduct standard tests and measurements, and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments;

d. an ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team;

e. an ability to identify, analyze, and solve narrowly defined engineering technology problems;

f. an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;

g. an understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development;

h. an understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity; and

i. a commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.

The Student Learning Outcomes have been developed incorporating the learned capabilities (a-i) as prescribed by ETAC of ABET. The SLO’s are evaluated continuously each year by the program coordinator and faculty members. The results are submitted to the university assessment center as part of the report to the Commission of Higher Learning to ensure consistency with the university’s objectives. The relationship between Student Learning Outcomes and Program Educational Objectives is shown in the tablebelow:

  1. Minimally addressed: aspects are broadly defined but serve as background, or are addressed in an informal context.
  2. Partially addressed: aspects are clearly involved in outcomes but may not be addressed to a high extent or outcomes of which may not be comprehensively assessable
  3. Thoroughly addressed: aspects are comprehensively addressed with clearly measurable outcomes
