Electronics Engineering Technology (AAS)

Almost every aspect of daily life depends on highly sophisticated electronics systems. From the time we wake up in the morning, using electronic tooth brushes, to the time we retire at night turning on the security system, we use gadgets made up of electronics. The challenges in designing and delivering reliable, safe and cost-efficient electronics engineering systems require a complex integration of application knowledge, software and electronics, interfaced to a rapidly changing world. With continuing advancing technologies and high expectations of users the need for suitably qualified and accredited engineers is as important as ever.

The Electronics Engineering Technology department at East-West University offers a program of study leading to a Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology or an Associate of Applied Science in Electronics Engineering Technology. If you’re looking for a Chicago electronics engineering degree to prepare for any number of electronics engineering careers, these programs will equip you with a broad view of the systems involved.

Unlike pure computing degrees which often concentrate on the software, scientific and mathematical aspects of computing, our degree programs will give you the information about electronics engineering you need to succeed. They aim to provide a much wider range of engineering skills, particularly in hardware and electronic systems. The courses within our degree programs cover both hardware and software technologies and an understanding of their application to the design of systems, from the smallest embedded micro-processors to global communication systems. Electronic technology is intricately-woven into many sectors of industry which affects our daily lives. Every year, new and exciting communications in wired, wireless, and satellite services impact devices and machines which change the way people live, work, and play. It’s a dynamic environment that requires professionals to sustain its progress. Increasing demand for these services creates the need for technicians with skills to assist these growing sectors of the world economy. The department of Electronics Engineering Technology has been playing a vital role in producing engineers of high caliber.

The department offers a program that caters to the challenging needs of technical excellence in all areas of electronics engineering such as: Analog and Digital Circuits, Digital Communication, Drone Technology, Optical Fiber Communication, RF Engineering, Industrial Technology, Environmental Engineering, UNIX for Engineers, etc.

Engineering technologists play a critical role, serving as a bond between engineers and technicians. From conception to design, development to testing, and quality control to fabrication, they are essential to the entire production process.
