Program Overview

The Electronics Engineering Technology concentration prepares you for positions in the field of electronics by developing the theoretical and practical skills required for this discipline. Electronic circuits are the building blocks of the technology revolution. Professionals who can build, test, program, and troubleshoot electrical circuitry are a key resource for today’s tech-dependent businesses.

With an emphasis on experiential learning, the Electronics Engineering Technology concentration features a hands-on approach that offers real experiences with both software and hardware. The skills you need are acquired through a planned sequence of courses involving classroom work with the most modern testing and measuring equipment.

Program Objectives

Our mission is to develop individuals who are innovative in problem solving, understand the inherent value of design, have high ethical standards, are skilled in communication, are cognizant of their responsibility for a sustainable future, and are responsive to change.

This opportunity gave me a chance to truly grasp the role of engineering. I felt like I was given the resources and opportunity to apply the knowledge from attending Fitchburg State and make a considerable impact on the industrial field. I was exposed to new concepts, old theories and everything in between. I look forward to continuing my career there after graduation.
