Program Overview

Electronic Engineering Technology

The Electronic Engineering Technology program at the University of Dayton is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in the practical application of science and engineering. The program combines the theoretical aspects of engineering with a stronger emphasis on execution and implementation.

Program Overview

The program offers a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology, with a focus on circuit design, electronics, measurements, digital computers, and data acquisition and control. Students can personalize their educational experience by adding a minor, such as industrial automation and applied robotic systems.

Degree Information and Sample Plan

The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology, Industrial Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. The accreditation assures confidence that the program has met standards essential to prepare graduates to enter critical STEM fields in the global workforce.

Why Study Electronic Engineering Technology at UD?

• Personalize Your Experience: Compliment your major or connect with your passion by adding a minor or concentration to your degree program. The UD School of Engineering offers more than 30 minors, or you can choose a minor outside of engineering.
• Experienced Faculty: Many of the faculty have years of experience in the industry including automotive, manufacturing, and product development, among others and you'll benefit from their real-world applications in the classroom.
• Capstone Project: Your academic journey culminates in a senior year capstone course, where you and your team will solve a real-world challenge for a client. You'll be paired with UD engineering students from majors outside electronic engineering technology to work together to find a solution. Many clients go on to adopt the solutions presented to them by the student teams.
• ABET Accredited: The program's accreditation by ABET ensures that graduates are well-prepared to enter the workforce.
