331 - Electrical Engineering Technology (AAS)

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

Required: Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2
Recommended: Physics

REQUIRED COURSE PREREQUISITES

If students do not place into MATH 1033 College Algebra, MATH 1084Calculus I, MATH 1323 Quantitative Reasoning, 1034 College Algebra of Functions, 1054 Precalculus, or 2124 Statistical Methods & Analysis, then MATH 1014 Algebra Concepts is a required prerequisite for completion of the major.

If students do not place into PHYS 1024 General Physics I or PHYS 1044College Physics I, then PHYS 1014 Introductory Physics is a required prerequisite for completion of this major.

TECHNICAL STANDARDS

It is essential that students are able to fully participate, with or without a reasonable accommodation, in engineering technology lab and test procedures. Engineering technology students should be able to:

• Maintain ethical standards as defined by professional societies such as ASME and IEEE (non-exhaustive list)

• Appropriately use hand and power tools.

• Appropriately use test, analysis, and measurement equipment

• Maintain professional integrity in the classroom and laboratory setting

• Communicate effectively, orally and written

• Perform experiments safely in a laboratory environment

• Visually decipher lab equipment digital or analogue displays

• Understand and retain information found in equipment manuals, datasheets, and lab instructions

• Comprehend written and oral directions; act on those directions safely

• Visually identify and select hardware components

• Visually distinguish computer software user interface elements

• Interpret software outputs to analyze data

• Have sufficient dexterity to finely adjust equipment settings

• Interpret complex data tables and graphs

Courses that repeat or significantly overlap those taken in the student’s associate degree program cannot be taken for upper-level credit. I fthe associate degree covered the subject matter in one of the required baccalaureate courses, a different course must be substituted and approved by the faculty adviser.

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT

A tier 2 laptop computer is required for students entering the electrical engineering technology program. Laptop specifications are available atwww.alfredstate.edu/required-laptops. Some courses require specialized tools and/or electronic components.
