COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology (BSEET) degree plan at Fairleigh Dickinson University is a four-year, 120-credit professionally accredited program designed to prepare students for applied engineering and industrial technology careers. The curriculum begins with foundational subjects in engineering graphics, precalculus, physics, writing, and university transition courses during the first year. In the second year, students advance into chemistry, technical communication, circuit analysis, statics, digital system design, programming, and engineering statistics. These courses build the core technical and analytical skills necessary for electrical and electronic systems. During the third year, students study electrical energy conversion, electronics, microprocessor system design, materials technology, advanced engineering programming, thermodynamics, and modern technologies. Students gain hands-on laboratory and applied design experience while learning about electronic devices, embedded systems, energy systems, and industrial technologies. In the fourth year, the curriculum focuses on advanced electronics, computer networks, control systems technology, industrial automation, engineering economics, project management, and a senior capstone design project. The capstone project allows students to apply engineering principles and technical skills to solve real-world engineering technology problems. Students also complete technical electives in specialized areas such as fiber optics, laser technology, microwave technology, HVAC systems, manufacturing systems, dynamics, fluid mechanics, automation, CAD/CAM, and optical technology. The program combines practical engineering applications with modern industrial technologies, preparing graduates for careers in electronics, telecommunications, automation, industrial controls, manufacturing, networking, instrumentation, power systems, and technical management. Strong emphasis is placed on applied problem-solving, laboratory experience, system troubleshooting, technical communication, and industry-relevant project work. Graduates are qualified for roles such as electronics engineering technologist, automation specialist, systems technologist, network technician, control systems technologist, industrial engineering technologist, and field service engineer. The curriculum is specifically structured to meet growing workforce demand in modern infrastructure, automation, renewable energy, sma
