For over 30 years, the Electrical Engineering Technology program has been supplying qualified technicians for Connecticut industry as well as for firms throughout the New England area. The Electrical Engineering Technology program is one of four programs accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

In the program, an intensive study is made of the fundamentals of electric circuits, solid state electronics, and their application in electronic circuits and control systems. This study prepares the graduates for employment in a variety of electronic technology positions, as well as transfer to baccalaureate engineering technology programs. Due to the major impact of the computer in our society, the curriculum includes a concentration on digital circuits and digital control systems.

In addition to the electrical specialties, the student in this technology studies a core of related courses such as physics and advanced mathematical applications. To meet the requirements of the degree, the student also pursues studies in the humanities and social sciences. Excellent transfer programs exist throughout New England for graduates who wish to continue on to a four-year degree.

Electrical Engineering Technology, Associate in Science Degree
Associate in Science Degree Program Outcomes


Upon successful completion of all program requirements, graduates will be able to:

  1. utilize the Library and the World Wide Web to obtain device specifications and applications.
  2. explain terms, symbols, units and concepts related to DC and AC circuit steady state and transient response.
  3. read schematic diagrams and make appropriate analyses of voltage, current, power, and energy for DC and AC networks by use of techniques based on Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's Laws, Superposition, Nodal and Thevenin equivalent circuits.
  4. correctly apply voltmeters, ammeters, ohmmeters and the oscilloscope to obtain circuit measurements and to apply appropriate troubleshooting techniques to find malfunctions in common electronic equipment found in industry.
  5. explain the fundamental characteristics of semiconductor diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJT), and field effect transistors (FET), and of the different types of BJT and FET amplifiers and applications of each.
  6. design multistage amplifiers and digital logic circuits using medium scale integrated circuits and evaluate memory circuits that utilize RAMs, ROMs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, and Programmable Logic Devices.
  7. analyze the system math model for electromechanical systems to determine system stability, steady state error, and transient response.
  8. relate to control systems that utilize the microprocessor or the programmable logic controller (PLC) for system intelligence and to program the PLC to control discrete and analog processes.
