Program Overview

Why Study Electronic Engineering Technology at UD?

  • Personalize Your Experience: Compliment your major or connect with your passion by adding a minor or concentration to your degree program. The UD School of Engineering offers more than 30 minors, or you can choose a minor outside of engineering.
  • Experienced Faculty: Many of our faculty have years of experience in the industry — including automotive, manufacturing, and product development, among others — and you'll benefit from their real-world applications in the classroom.
  • Capstone Project: Your academic journey culminates in a senior year capstone course, where you and your team will solve a real-world challenge for a client. You'll be paired with UD engineering students from majors outside electronic engineering technology to work together to find a solution. Many clients go on to adopt the solutions presented to them by our student teams.
  • ABET Accredited: Our accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology, Industrial Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. ABET accreditation assures confidence that a collegiate program has met standards essential to prepare graduates to enter critical STEM fields in the global workforce.
