The Bachelor of Science in Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology (B.S.E.T.E.E.) Program prepares students for diverse and dynamic careers in industry. Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technologists use the principals of science and math to solve problems in industry and business. The B.S.E.T.E.E. program emphasizes hands-on laboratory experiences, and courses stress the practical application of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve real world problems. Possible applications for this degree include: the automotive industry, business machines/professional and scientific equipment, computers and electronics, defense, and electronic utilities. Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Admission Requirements

This program is designed to admit students who satisfy the general undergraduate admission requirements of the University and have an associate degree and a minimum grade point average (g.p.a.) of 2.50. Students with a g.p.a. of 2.0 to 2.5 may be admitted as pre-engineering technology students, and may be transferred into the engineering technology program upon successful completion of MAT 1800 and PHY 2130 with a g.p.a. of 2.50. 

Required Background: Any student deficient in any courses listed under Lower Division Technical Transfer Credit will be required to remove the deficiencies before electing any EET courses

A Mathematics Placement Examination is required of entering students who have not already earned advanced credit in pre-calculus.

Program Requirements

This program extends the practical and applied base of the associate degree program with theoretical courses in electrical engineering and engineering technology, and additional courses in mathematics, science, and socio-humanities. Candidates for the B.S.E.T.E.E. degree must earn a minimum of 124 credits, as outlined in one of the following major programs and including the University General Education Requirements. University policy allows a maximum of sixty-four semester credits transferred from community colleges to Wayne State, but students following University-approved articulation agreements with community colleges are able to exceed the maximum of sixty-four credits; a minimum of thirty semester credits must be earned from Wayne State, at least twenty-four of which must be in Division of Engineering Technology courses. All coursework must be completed in accordance with the academic procedures of the University and the College and must conform to Division academic standards.

In order to graduate, the University requires a minimum 2.0 g.p.a. in total resident credit, and the Division a minimum 2.0 g.p.a. in total coursework in the area of specialization; as well as satisfaction of all University Undergraduate General Education Requirements.

Plan of Study: Due to the various educational backgrounds of associate degree graduates and the different rates of progress of full-time and part-time students, individual plans of study are developed for students in conjunction with faculty advisors.

NOTE: A student who, after receiving one undergraduate degree at Wayne State University, wishes to obtain a second bachelor's degree must complete at least thirty credits beyond those applied toward the first degree.

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology requires a minimum of 124 credits as outlined in the following curriculum.
