electrical/electronic engineering technology

The bachelor's degree in electrical/electronic engineering technology (BSEET) prepares students for diverse and dynamic careers in industry. Electrical/electronic engineering technologists use the principals of science and math to solve problems in industry and business, both in the public and privatize sectors. They work alongside engineers, independently, as well as in a supervisory capacity. This field is in touch with a wide and growing range of applications of technology, and therefore has many applications in today's workforce.

Our program

The BSEET program emphasizes hands-on laboratory experiences, and courses stress the practical application of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve real world problems.

Accreditation

Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology (BSEET) Program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Enrollment and graduation statistics

Detailed information on enrollment and graduation can be obtained through the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).

Program educational objectives:

Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation. Program educational objectives are based on the needs of the program's constituencies.

PEO-1 To produce graduates who attain gainful employment and practice successfully in electrical or electronic related engineering technology professions;

PEO-2 To produce graduates who remain technically current and adapt to rapidly changing technologies through continuous learning and self-improvement;

PEO-3 To produce graduates who demonstrate independent thinking and function effectively in teams to solve open-ended problems in an industrial environment;

PEO-4 To produce graduates who communicate effectively and perform ethically and professionally in business, industry, and society.

Student outcomes

Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program.

Student outcomes for the EET program are:

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

Course sequence

Each program has a course sequence or a proper order in which to take classes. It is important that students take their classes following the course sequences provided by the department because foundational or prerequisite classes contain information that utilized in the upper level courses.

Since our students are coming from many different community colleges and technical backgrounds they transfer to Wayne State with varying amounts of credits. It is difficult to prescribe a semester-by-semester plan that would fit each individual student's situation, so instead priority lists are used.

Each list contains a group of classes that are required to be completed before registering for classes in the subsequent lists. This helps students progress through the program, while building on their foundational skills.

* Students may feel free to take ET 3430 and 3450 before completing previous levels

NOTE:

• Students who are found to be "out of order" can be administratively withdrawn from their classes. It is also very important that students get a C- or better in a class that is listed as a prerequisite to another class.
• Maximum 64 semester credits can be transferred from Community Colleges.
• Transfer credits are subject to WSU Transfer Student Statute and may be revised.
• Minimum 30 credits must be earned from WSU including 24 credits from Div. of Engineering Technology
• WSU General Education Requirement includes: (a) Foundational Competencies for BC, IC, OC, and  (b) Inquiries in QR, CI, CIV, SI, NSI, DEI, GL

All courses required are not on these priority lists. General education and communication courses are omitted from the above list. Students can use the general education and communication classes to help "fill in" or "balance" their schedules, but these are outside of the technical/program of study area. A student should first try to schedule classes on at the priority level they are at, and then opt to take general education classes.

Each applicant is evaluated as an individual. Your admission to WSU is based on a review of many factors, which may include:

• High school or secondary school academic performance

• Submit an SAT/ACT score, or submit test-optional documents (two letters of recommendation, two essays, and an activities list).

• Rigor of high school curriculum

• Meeting Wayne State's English proficiency requirements

• Any other supporting documentation requested

• Submit all application documents by December 1 to be considered for merit-based scholarships. 

Additional requirements

• English translations of documents must bear the seal/stamp of the issuing institution.

• Your statement of financial support cannot be older than six months.

• Bank supporting documentation must show the dollar amount equivalent to the financial requirements (pdf) for undergraduate international students.

• English proficiency tests cannot be more than two years old.

• Checks drawn on foreign banks should carry the notation "Payable in U.S. funds, plus service charges."
