We offer two diffferent Associates degrees: the "ET"
degree, and the "EET" degree. These take two years to complete
if you are attending full-time. We also offer an Electronics Certification
that can be completed in only one year. If you do not want to pursue a
degree or certificate, you can take individual courses.
If you do not desire to pursue a full two-year Associates
Degree, or if you would prefer to take only technical courses, you can
pursue a Certificate of Completion (“CCL”). The CCL is comprised
of the first year of courses listed in the ET associates degree. Some
ET students apply for this certificate when they are halfway through the
ET degree in order to show progress for their employers.
We meet annually with an industrial advisory committee
made up of representatives from numerous local electronics employers,
both large and small, to assure that the topics covered in these degrees
remain up to date, and relevant to the needs of our local industry.

| Purpose: |
If you are interested solely in maximizing your knowledge of electronics,
the ET degree may be for you. We minimized the amount of mathematics
and physics that are in the traditional EET degree to make room for
the additional electronics courses in this degree. Only algebra and
trigonometry is required. There is no calculus in this degree. As
a result, we could include a second semester of Microprocessors, and
two semesters of Electronic Communications. |
|
The EET degree is the traditional degree for students who desire
to become Engineering Technicians. It is the standard degree that
is offered by many electronics programs around the country, and was
developed in response to industry needs beginning in the early 1960's.
We have offered this degree here at MCC since 1969. Although this
is an occupational degree, some of the credits (such as Physics and
Calculus) are likely to transfer to four-year schools and provide
a solid foundation upon which to pursue a 4-year degree. |

The sequence of the courses shown here are suggestions
only. You can take the courses in any order as long as the prerequisites
for each course are met.
The two Associates degrees and the Certificate all
share a common core of electronics courses. The core courses that are
in all three of these Electronics programs are: ELE111, ELE131, ELE181,
ELE112, ELE121, and ELE241.
