Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.
Electrical Engineering Technology
Curriculum Code: 2313
Will Earn Upon Completion: Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) Degree
Why major in Electrical Engineering Technology?
Program prepares for entry-level positions working with engineers in the design, fabrication, installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of electrical and computer devices.
If I major in Electrical Engineering Technology can I transfer to an upper-division college or university?
Program is career oriented, not specifically designed for baccalaureate transfer. However, some credits earned may transfer to four-year institutions, particularly New Jersey Institute of Technology.
Are there any requirements I must satisfy before I start taking courses in my major?
Based on placement, you may be required to take developmental courses in English and/or Mathematics before taking courses in your major.
How long will it take me to complete this degree?
If you do not need developmental courses and you register for an average of 16 credits each semester, degree can be completed in two years, which may be shortened by taking summer courses.
Where should I direct specific questions?
Contact the Division (973) 877-3302.
