If you're interested in a hands-on approach
to learning the fundamentals of electrical engineering and technology,
Penn State Erie's Electrical Engineering Technology program may be
right for you.
Nearly every class has a related laboratory.
Faculty believe students learn and retain more when lecture material
is verified by observation or through the analysis of a circuit or
system built by a student in a lab. In other words, you'll learn a
lot by doing.
Typically, lectures and labs are taught by the
same faculty member, providing continuity of information. And most
classes are small (fifteen to thirty students), which fosters close
interaction student-faculty interaction.
Our faculty focus on preparing you for a
challenging career in industry. Each faculty member has significant
industrial experience, which means ideas and lessons are incorporated
into the curriculum by experienced teachers. Compared to a traditional
electrical engineering program, less emphasis is placed on theory, and
our approach differs from technical programs that focus on developing
repair and maintenance skills.
