Electrical Engineering w/Math 1730 Entry

What is Electrical Engineering A.S. w/ Math 1910 Entry?

The Electrical Engineering concentration is designed to train individuals to function effectively as assistants to electrical engineers or independently as electrical/electronic technicians. The curriculum prepares electrical engineering technicians to translate the engineer’s designs into systems and projects, collect and analyze data, develop design layouts, inspect work, check and repair equipment, and prepare reports for the engineering team. Electrical engineering technicians acquire a general education background, including mathematics and science, while studying electricity and electronics and associated technical applications.

What will I learn?

Upon completion of the Engineering Technology program, the graduate will have developed the skills, knowledge and abilities to accomplish the following:

Solve, analyze and apply engineering concepts and theories
Apply learned engineering knowledge and learning tools in the current engineering industry to solve problems.
Collaborate efficiently using oral, written and graphing communication skills
Assimilate and practice the concepts and principles of working in a team environment.

Gain employment or seek to gain further education in a higher level college degree.

What can I do with this degree?

This degree can be applied to assist (apprentice) an engineer working in the industry or perform engineering objectives. It can also place the student in a position in which they could advance educationally into a post two year degree.

What are my options at Cleveland State Community College?

You can obtain an associate degree at Cleveland State and the TBR TTP can move you into one of the four year universities.

What are my options to pay for this degree?
