Program Overview

Electronic Engineering Technology AAS Program Description

The Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) program at Bronx Community College prepares graduates to join the workforce as technical professionals in a variety of industries and services or to transfer to a four-year baccalaureate program in engineering technology. Electrical and electronic technicians build, test, and maintain complex electronic equipment such as computers, control systems, communication networks, power systems, and medical devices.

Program Overview

The technical curriculum is combined with a program of general education to assure that graduates of the EET program have the prerequisite skills in reading, writing, and communication that are necessary to function effectively in the workplace. The Electronic Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electronic Engineering Technology.

Transfer Opportunities

Electronic Engineering Technology students who plan to continue their studies may transfer directly to New York City College of Technology or other colleges offering the baccalaureate degree in Engineering Technology. Graduates' transfer credits for technology courses taken at BCC will be evaluated by each college.
