Length: Two-year Program - Four-semesters

Purpose: The Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology program with a Specialization in Industrial Maintenance provides industry with the personnel trained to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain electrical/electronic equipment and systems.  The program is designed to allow a student to transfer to an appropriate bachelors program in Engineering Technology or go directly into the workforce as an Industrial Maintenance Technician.

Occupational Objectives:

Maintenance Technician Engineering Technician
Field Service Technician Installation Technician
Technical Sales Specialist  

Admission Requirements: In addition to the admissions requirements established for the college, entry into the Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology program requires proficiency in high school English, Mathematics (including one unit of algebra and one unit of geometry or two units of algebra, or equivalent), and Science.  Students lacking program entry prerequisites will be required to complete pre-requisites developmental courses before allowed entering the program.

Program Requirements: The Electrical/Electronics Technology Degree with a specialization in Industrial Maintenance begins with an emphasis in electrical theory and builds to include electronic circuits and electronic devices, digital electronics, rotating machines, process control, solid state and programmable logic controls along with training in blueprint reading, hydraulics, welding and machine tool applications. Upon satisfactory completion of the program the graduate will be awarded the Associate in Applied Science Technology with a Specialization in Industrial Maintenance.

Note: A number of four-year institutions are offering Bachelor’s Degree programs in Engineering Technology which build on the community college AAS degree. Students interested in such programs should consult with their program advisors early in their program at SWCC.
