Industrial Experience and Capstone

Appropriate industrial experience is very important for students in the Electronic Engineering Technology program. Students who have a few years of industrial experience and have worked on a specific project in a high-technology company can use this experience as part of a capstone course. To obtain credit toward a capstone, students must:

1. Register for a capstone course
2. Write a detailed outline for the project intended to be used for credit
3. Write a report on the project including the outline, the project's purpose, and operation
4. Obtain a letter from their supervisor at work stating that they have contributed to the project
5. Give a presentation on all work collected describing the project in detail

Up to 6 credits can be received for industrial projects in capstone courses.

Graduate Study

Students who want to earn a graduate degree at UMass Lowell can take three EET technical electives from among courses that are more mathematically intense and required to enter the graduate program.
