Polytechnic Programs
Tinkerers, builders, and experimenters—your curiosity can change the future.
Every new gadget began as an innovative idea, a fleeting curiosity that became a perpetual thought that begged to be brought to life. Big and small. Recreational to life changing. It all starts with that spark of curiosity.


B.S. Electrical Engineering Technology
Have you ever wondered how your microwave works? What about GPS? If you major in electrical engineering technology, you’ll learn how to design, develop, and test computers, communications equipment, medical monitoring devices, and navigation equipment.
