Circuits, switches and cables are almost everywhere. Lights turn on and doors open by themselves. But when things go wrong … what can a person do? Not a whole lot, unless they are a trained technician. That’s what our General Engineering Technology degree is all about.
This program will prepare you to:
- Understand alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC)
- Be familiar with resistors, capacitors, transformers and more
- Have a firm grasp of electrical instrumentation technology
About the program
We’ll expose you to a variety of classes that you’ll need to succeed, like “AC/DC Fundamentals” and “Electronic Devices,” and you’ll also take some English, math and electives to round out the degree. The program lasts two years over four semesters.
