The purpose of the graduate certificate in Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) is to increase and enhance the technical and management knowledge and skill of an individual working in industry with a bachelor’s degree in a technical field. General skills developed include advanced circuit applications, advanced software applications, and advanced power applications . These technical content areas include real-world, practical applications. Elective courses allow students to developer specialized skills in additional content areas related to the power industry and engineering project management. This certificate is also a path-way towards a Professional Science Master’s degree with a concentration in EET if students wish to continue their studies.

An earned baccalaureate engineering, engineering technology, math, physics, or equivalent degree from an accredited program is required for admission.

The graduate certificate in Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) is a 15-16 credit online program and is designed to increase and enhance the technical and management knowledge and skills of an individual working in today’s industry. Successful candidates have a bachelor’s degree in a technical field and are looking to develop skills in advanced circuit applications, advanced software applications, and advanced power applications with real-world, practical applications.

Admission requirements

• A bachelor’s degree from an accredited program in a technical field such as engineering, computer science, math, or physics
• A minimum undergraduate GPA of 2.5 (4.0 scale)
• Substantial exposure to circuit analysis is preferred but not required
• A minimum TOEFL score of 80 (IbT), 6.5 (IELTS), or 60 (PTE Academic) for international students

Coursework

Students will take 9 credits in the following required courses:

• EET 514: Printed Circuit Board Design (3 credits)
• EET 515: Automation and Integration (3 credits)
