Prerequisites
It is recommended that students enrolling in the EET program complete at least two high school mathematics courses and one laboratory science course (chemistry and physics are recommended).
Transfer opportunities
Preparing our students for transfer to four-year baccalaureate programs in engineering technology is also a significant focus area for our program. Articulation agreements between MVCC and other schools ease the transfer of most or all credits when students transfer to four-year colleges. MVCC has articulation and/or joint admissions agreements with four-year universities.
Career opportunities
Career opportunities can be found in specialized fields including electrical machinery, electronic controls, analog and digital circuitry, and telecommunications.
