Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology

  • Four required blocks of co-op mean nearly a year of hands-on, full-time paid work experience in industry.
  • Choose from two professional options: audio or telecommunications.

Electrical engineering technology is designed to meet industry’s ever-increasing need for engineers with an in-depth understanding of electrical and electronics theory. The degree provides students with the ability to specialize in specific areas of the discipline. Graduates work as engineers in a variety of industries including automotive, medical devices, power and energy, audio, telecommunications, and more.

RIT’s Electrical Engineering Technology Degree

The BS in electrical engineering technology degree provides students with a foundation in circuits, analog, and digital electronics, physics, and calculus. The third and fourth years expand on fundamental courses with more advanced courses in advanced circuits and electronics, transform methods, control systems, analog, and digital electronics, and applied differential equations. Students are able to choose from multiple electives to round out their degree. Electives include sequences in power systems, electronic communications, embedded systems, telecommunications, networking, and optics. Electives are also available in other technical disciplines, and the student’s academic advisor can assist in determining the best choices to meet career goals and objectives. The major provides a viable option for students who have already completed an associate degree and wish to complete a bachelor of science degree.

Core courses are introduced in the first year of study to provide students with a solid foundation in circuits, analog and digital electronics, computer programming, and calculus. The curriculum expands in later years to feature advanced study in advanced circuits and electronics, transform methods, control systems, analog, and digital electronics, and applied differential equations. Elective courses enable students to choose from a wide range of course options to further enhance their program of study and prepare them to archive their career goals. The major provides a viable option for students who have already completed an associate degree and wish to complete a bachelor of science degree.

A solid foundation in math, science, and the liberal arts, coupled with specialization in students’ particular areas of interest prepares graduates to immediately enter the workforce as design engineers or pursue advanced degrees. Electrical engineering technology majors will gain in-depth knowledge and a breadth of experience that inspire them to pursue successful careers in their chosen professional field and embark on a path of lifelong learning.

Students will also complete required cooperative education experiences designed to provide real, hands-on engineering experience in industry.

Electrical Engineering Technology Program Options

Students who wish to specialize in a particular area of industry, or those who desire to pursue a personal interest, may elect to use electives to complete a four-course option in audio or telecommunications.

Engineering vs. Engineering Technology

Two dynamic areas of study, both with outstanding outcomes rates. Which do you choose?

What’s the difference between engineering and engineering technology? It’s a question we’re asked all the time. While there are subtle differences in the course work between the two, choosing a major in engineering vs. engineering technology is more about identifying what you like to do and how you like to do it.

Students whose native language is not English must submit results from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), PTE Academic or International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Students may self-report their scores in the following ways:

  • On their application for admission
  • Via email at admissions@rit.edu
  • From your school/college counselor via mail or email

Admitted students will be required to submit their official scores once they choose to enroll at RIT.

All admitted students scoring in a conditional admission range will be tested by RIT's English Language Center upon arrival at RIT. The results of this testing will determine if English instruction for non-native speakers will be required before a student may begin academic courses. RIT also offers conditional admission where students can integrate English Language studies with their academic program.

If your scores fall below the conditional admission range, you may apply for English Language Center admission directly.

TOEFL - 79; PET - 58; IELTS - 6.5

If you have completed your most recent studies outside of the US and have demonstrated adequate resources to cover the entire cost of attending RIT, an I-20 will be sent with your acceptance letter.

Students who are awarded merit or need-based scholarships may use scholarships awarded as part of the documentation of support. The total support, which may include the merit or need-based scholarships if applicable, must total at least $70,000 USD in order for RIT to issue the I-20 or DS-2019 forms necessary to apply for a student visa.

If you will begin your studies at RIT within 5 months of attending a US secondary school, college or university, you will be asked to complete a SEVIS Transfer form with the assistance of your International Counselor.

Once we receive the SEVIS Transfer form, an acceptable Declaration of Financial Support and bank documentation, and you have sent RIT a non-refundable $500 enrollment deposit, your SEVIS record will be transferred from your previous school to RIT and an I-20 will be sent to you.

You may submit your fall application starting on August 1. Spring Semester or Summer Term applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
