Why Choose Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology?

This associate degree in electrical and computer engineering technology offers you a specific education opportunity to enroll in electrical and computer engineering-related courses that lead to potential four-year degrees in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science that can be completed at our Dayton campus. It also prepares you for real-world problem solving in electrical and computer engineering. This degree offers a broad, practical, and in-depth approach to electrical engineering-related topics.

An electrical or electronics engineer works with multimedia, telecommunications, electric power, signal processing, and control systems. These skills help produce automated cars, robots, aviation electrical systems, new forms of wireless communication, and other not-yet imagined products and software. There's no limit to how electrical engineers can improve and invent ways to help make life easier and safer! Computer engineers research, design, create, manufacture, test, and improve computer systems. Your computer engineering studies will focus on hardware and the integration of hardware and software.
