Students gain practical experience by using electronic instruments, microprocessors and computers. Electronic fabrication techniques and the layout of printed circuit boards are also emphasized. As a result of the training and preparation provided by our program, the Electrical Engineering Technology graduate is an important and much sought after contributor to the engineering team in Connecticut's ever-changing high technology industries. Classroom electrical engineering concepts are supplemented by extensive laboratory experience. For each hour spent in class there is approximately an equivalent amount of time in the laboratory.
Students become proficient in using the tools of technology.
H2142 Fiber Optics -Fiber optics has become the transmission medium of choice for most communications. Its high speed and long-distance capability makes it the most cost effective communications medium for most applications. Its importance in the future of communication places it on top of the list. For this reason it has been included in the EET curriculum. The course covers the basics of fiber optics, including the basic theory of fiber optics, how it is manufactured, its applications and fiber performance.
