Electrical Engineering - Suggested Course Schedule (pdf version)

For more information contact Jim deFriess at (828) 438-6144.

The Electrical Engineering Technology curriculum is designed to provide training for entry-level technicians desiring a career in electrical maintenance and management, or in the design, planning, construction, development and installation of electrical systems, machines, and power generating equipment. 

Beginning with electrical fundamentals, course work progressively introduces electronics, electrical machines and controls, and electrical power systems.  Other course work includes the study of various fields associated with the electrical/electronic industry.

The Electrical Engineering Technology AAS degree can also be a building block for continuing toward a BS degree.

 Graduates should find employment opportunities in areas requiring electrical or electronic knowledge.  This includes manufacturing and service sectors.
