EET 104 - Electronic Engineering Technology Foundations

Lecture Hours: 3 Credits: 3

Description: This survey style course is designed to introduce students to important topics and skills they will use in all their core electronics classes, and throughout their career. Topics such as engineering notation, scientific calculator usage, and electrical simulation software are introduced. Numerous hands-on skills such as multimeter usage, basic soldering and basic hand tools are also covered. In addition, students spend time developing resumes and developing other career search skills including participating in a mock interview.

Prerequisite(s): Take ENG 100 and RDG 100 and MAT 101 or MAT 152 with a minimum grade of C. Take MAT 102 either prior to or at the same time as this course.
