Online Undergraduate Certificate in Electrical Engineering Technology
About the Program
The 100% online Undergraduate Certificate in Electrical Engineering Technology increases students’ skills and technical knowledge in the industry including AC circuit analysis, analog circuit fundamentals, and introductory power design and analysis.
An undergraduate certificate differs from a bachelor’s degree in that the curriculum is focused on the subjects that will benefit your career and show employers proof of practical skills. An undergraduate certificate can also be used as continuing education for professional engineers and contribute to important workforce development.

Careers
The EET faculty have built a strong network of contacts to help graduates find employment and our faculty personally works with students to help them find a position that fits their interests. Our graduates can find careers such as project engineers, electrical and instrumentation engineers, equipment engineers, field engineers, power systems engineers, or electronic applications engineers. Over the last several years, we have had an almost 100% placement rate within three months of graduation.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the overall employment of electrical and electronics engineers is projected to grow 7% from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average for all occupations. As of May 2020, the median average wage for electrical engineers is $100,830 and starting salaries can range from $60,000 to $70,000.
Faculty
All of our faculty are licensed professional engineers with several years of industrial experience and actively serve as consulting professional engineers when not teaching.
We are dedicated to helping students succeed and offer exceptional access to faculty. While some institutions may only have 1-2 hours available for students to see faculty, we average 10-15 hours weekly.
