What you'll study in a Electrical Engineering Technology program

  • DC and AC circuit analysis and hands-on circuit construction
  • Analog and digital electronics, including transistors, op-amps, and logic gates
  • Microcontroller and programmable logic controller (PLC) programming
  • Bench instrumentation skills with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and signal generators
  • Prototype development, breadboarding, soldering, and PCB assembly
  • Electrical and electronic systems testing, troubleshooting, and fault diagnosis
  • Instrument calibration and preventive equipment maintenance
  • Communication and networking fundamentals for electronic systems
  • Schematic reading, technical documentation, and test report preparation

Where a Electrical Engineering Technology degree can lead

  • Electrical Engineering Technologist
  • Electronics Technician
  • Test Engineer
  • Field Service Technician
  • Controls Technician
  • Instrumentation Technician

Typical pay: Early-career wages vary by employer, region, and experience (BLS, 2024 electrical and electronic engineering technologists and technicians median $77,180).

An Electrical Engineering Technology major focuses on applying established electrical and electronics principles rather than deriving them from advanced theory. Students learn to read schematics, build and bench-test analog and digital circuits, wire and troubleshoot power and control systems, calibrate instruments, and document their results, working through hands-on labs far more than the calculus-heavy proofs that define an electrical engineering degree. Where an electrical engineer concentrates on originating new circuit and system designs, a technology graduate concentrates on turning those designs into working hardware: prototyping boards, running diagnostics on electronic equipment, maintaining power and instrumentation systems, and supporting the engineers and production teams who depend on systems that actually function.

This major is commonly entered through an associate's-level program, though bachelor's-level technology programs also exist for students who want supervisory or design-support roles. Coursework is lab-intensive: students spend time at the bench with oscilloscopes, signal generators, multimeters, and programmable controllers, and many programs end in a capstone build or an internship that mirrors real shop-floor and field conditions. Some employers and roles value programmatic accreditation, and certain positions touching public safety may require state licensure, so prospective students should verify both before enrolling. Graduates typically work in manufacturing plants, utilities, telecommunications, instrumentation and controls, aerospace and defense suppliers, and field-service operations, often alongside degreed engineers.

In federal data for the closely related occupation of electrical and electronic engineering technologists and technicians, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 2024 median wage of $77,180 and projects employment to grow about 0.6% from 2024 to 2034; an associate's degree is the typical entry-level education for that occupation. National figures are occupation-wide medians across all experience levels, not starting wages or graduate outcomes.
