Electronics engineering professionals design basic circuitry and build prototypes. Ever wonder what goes into developing computers, medical devices, navigation systems and other electronics? Or what makes your devices work? Ask an electronics engineering professional! 

EETs work directly with engineers to draw diagrams and write specifications to clarify their designs and use machine tools to make parts. They also identify design problems and find solutions, test parts to ensure quality and resolve equipment malfunctions. If you enjoy hands-on work that allows you to solve problems and see the fruits of your labor, consider this career path. 

Builders and thinkers, this is the degree for you! 

This program was previously know as Electrical Engineering Technology EET, AAS.
