About the Electronics Engineering Technology, BS

The Electronics Engineering Technology degree at CWU offers four elective sequences for you to tailor your interests to your educational and career goals. Engineering technology programs require fewer upper-division math courses and focus more on hands-on applications less commonly found in engineering programs. By no means does this make one version better than the other, they're just structured slightly differently.

Why Study Electronics Engineering Technology at CWU?

Electronics Engineering Technology professionals encompass the “know-why” of an engineer and the “know-how” of a technician.

This unique combination makes our graduates highly sought after in industry. Our program strives to ensure that you have the competence, skill, and expertise to develop practical designs and modifications for the implementation, operation, and production of complex systems to meet the ongoing needs of private and public industries.
