Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology (STEM) EDUCO - The University of Toledo, USA

Why major in electrical engineering technology vs. electrical engineering at The University of Toledo?

UToledo's electrical engineering technology students focus on technical skills and hands-on lab experience. Our program emphasizes problem solving and the application of theory first. Electrical engineering undergrads, on the other hand, start with theory and then move to the application.

This broad knowledge across a wide variety of EE topics makes UToledo grads highly marketable. They have technical skills in the areas of automated manufacturing, industrial controls, test operations, power generation and distribution, digital communications and instrumentation.

Highlights

• Optional co-ops. Our College of Engineering is known for its unique co-op program. Students build a resume and earn a paycheck. UToledo places engineering students in businesses in 40 states and 34 countries.
• Learn the latest technology. We teach two major brands of PLCs (digital computers used for automation) popular in industry. This gives UToledo engineering graduates a leg up in the job market, especially in more technical automation jobs. Some UT graduates have had multiple job offers, with annual, starting salaries ranging from $60,000-65,000.
• Customize your major. Have a specific career path in mind? UT’s EET majors often minor, concentrate or dual-major in:
  • Mechanical engineering technology — UToledo recently added an MET concentration to the EET program in response to feedback from regional employers and student interest. The objective: To better prepare graduates for work in an industrial setting.
  • Computer science engineering technology —  This popular program shares a common core with the EET program, making it easier to dual-major.
  • Business and business administration — UToledo’s College of Business and Innovation is one of the country’s best business schools.
• Experienced faculty. Most have a minimum of three years of industrial experience. Many have 10 years or more.
• Hands-on experience in state-of-the-art labs.
• Flexible scheduling. UToledo accommodates all kinds of students. The EET program offers full-time day classes, part-time night classes and online classes.
