About the Program
 View the Electrical Engineering Technician Webcast
The electronics industry offers many opportunities with high salaries and steady advancement for people with strong mathematics and analytical skills. This program offers an opportunity to develop abilities in a practical, hands-on curriculum. Employer demand for people who can analyze problems and implement solutions is always high. Computers, cellular phones, wireless services and other fields of electronics continue to expand.
This program offers excellent opportunities for articulation into four-year colleges and universities. A graduate of this program can articulate as a junior into the Milwaukee School of Engineering Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering Technology program. Partial articulation can be arranged to the UW System with the assistance of a program advisor. COMPASS test is required for enrollment. Contact the EET program director at (608) 246-6800 for pre-registration advising.
Program outcomes state what a graduate needs to be able to do with the essential knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors acquired in a specific MATC program. The program outcomes communicate expectations to students, as well as other academic institutions and potential employers. The identification and assessment of program outcomes support MATC's efforts in documenting student learning and provide a context for the faculty's academic planning.
Application Process
You must meet Admissions Requirements (see below). To apply for the program, follow the admission procedures, including submitting the completed application, application/processing fees, and transcripts.
Admissions Requirements for All Applications Submitted for the Current Academic Year
Students must earn a grade of C or better in high school courses Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Chemistry and Physics. (Equivalent courses will be considered.)
The Electrical Engineering Technology Program participates in MAAP (Mandatory Assessment, Advising and Placement). This requires new students to complete the COMPASS test. Advisement and course placement in English and mathematics is done based on test results. Applicants can receive advanced standing for Applied Electronics Math 1 by scoring a 46 on the College Algebra section of the COMPASS test. Advanced placement for Applied Electronics Math 2 can be obtained by scoring a 46 in the Trigonometry section of the COMPASS test. Study guides, review material and sample questions for the COMPASS test are available online. Applicants are advised to view this material prior to taking the test. Calculus AP may be applicable after consultation with a program advisor.
