COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology with an Electrical and Automation Systems option is designed to prepare students for applied careers that sit between traditional engineering roles and hands-on technical positions, focusing on real-world implementation of electrical, electronic, and automated systems. The program builds a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, computing, and engineering design through core courses such as calculus, analytical geometry, introductory physics, chemistry, and engineering design processes, ensuring students develop the analytical and problem-solving skills needed in modern industry. Students also study technical communication, industrial safety, statistical process control, and the broader social and technological context of engineering work. The curriculum emphasizes practical, laboratory-based learning where students gain experience with electrical circuits, AC and DC principles, logic systems, electronic circuit design, and industrial power systems. Automation-focused coursework introduces programmable logic controllers, microcomputer applications, robotics, industrial control systems, motor drives, and power electronics, preparing students to work with the technologies that drive modern manufacturing and smart systems. Additional training in computational analysis, programming applications, and engineering economics ensures graduates can evaluate systems not only technically but also in terms of efficiency, cost, and operational feasibility. The program also includes hands-on capstone projects and optional cooperative internships that connect classroom learning with industry experience, allowing students to solve real engineering challenges in professional environments. Through electives and specialization courses, students can further develop expertise in areas such as robotics, fluid power systems, industrial electronics, and advanced control technologies. Overall, the degree emphasizes applied learning, laboratory practice, and industry readiness, enabling graduates to design, maintain, and improve electrical and automated systems across sectors such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, robotics, and industrial automation. By combining theoretical knowledge with extensive practical training, the program prepares students for careers in a rapidly evolving technological landscape where automation and electrical systems are central to innovation and productivity across global industries.
