Cert in Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering

Intended as foundational coursework for anyone heading toward an electrical engineering career, this certificate covers the basics of the discipline. Students use math, science, engineering, and technology on broadly framed problems and design processes and components that satisfy stated needs. They also build communication skills in writing, speaking, and drawings, and learn to carry out routine tests and measurements and interpret what they find. The published program map lays out one possible route through the required courses and is offered for reference only. Students are asked to meet with a counselor to build a personal education plan. Each course entry in the catalog lists its description, any prerequisites or advisories, and the general education or transfer areas it satisfies. Transfer plans deserve a counselor conversation too, because every university sets its own course requirements.
