See Electronics Technology (ET) or Computer-Based Instrumentation and Control Technology (CICT) or Telecommunication Networks Technology (TNT) for information on related programs. All utilize a similar first-year course sequence.

Program Description

The Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) program is designed for students who intend to transfer to selected four-year institutions after earning the ATA degree in Electronics Engineering Technology at Skagit Valley College.

Engineering technicians work in the development, design, production, and operation of electronic-based equipment. Most students completing the Associate in Technical Arts degree should expect to work in support of engineering; however, titles used by industry for graduates with the BSEET degree (a four-year degree) include both engineer and engineering technician.

The following course sequence was developed with Western Washington University to offer at SVC the first two years of a four-year course sequence leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Electronics Engineering Technology. This course sequence also provides an excellent base for transfer to other engineering technology (BSEET) programs that are available both within and outside of Washington state. Contact the prospective transfer university for program requirements and transfer options.

All students are required to provide a basic set of hand tools for use in their first-year courses. When advancing to the second-year application courses, the tool compliment will be augmented to meet the requirements of the major area. There is a complete list of tools and equipment provided with each course syllabus.

Entry into the Program

Please apply to the Admissions Office. Entering students need to complete two years of high school algebra before starting the program sequence. Students who lack this preparation should consult an adviser for appropriate course work. The program may be started in any quarter; however, some course sequences start only Fall Quarter. Students with prior work experience in electronics or education may apply for advanced standing.
