    2009 - 2010 Electronic Engineering Technology Program Information

    Also a Tech Prep Program

    Students in the Electronic Engineering Technology Program will receive training in several diversified areas of electronics. This program emphasizes the application of mathematical theorems and applied physics toward the design and analysis of electronic circuits. Students will be exposed to a combination of classroom theory and hands-on laboratory design and analysis experiments.

    Program curriculum and laboratory equipment have been formally evaluated and endorsed by an advisory committee consisting of members of the electronics industry.

    Through articulation agreements, students can transfer their completed program toward a bachelor’s degree into several colleges and universities. Students planning to transfer to a college or university should check with the Collin academic advisor prior to beginning this program to verify course transferability. Tech Prep students who took collegiate-level courses in electronic engineering technology while in high school may elect to receive college credit by contacting the Global EDGE office. A petition for Tech Prep credit should be completed as soon as possible upon admission to Collin.
