Launched in 1947, the Electrical Engineering Technology Program at Broome Community College (BCC) has graduated over 2000 students who are now working in exciting technical positions all over the world. The two year program leads to the Associate in Applied Science Degree with graduates either entering the workforce as Electronic Technicians or continuing on for additional study for the BS degree in Engineering Technology at institutions like Rochester Institute of Technology or the SUNY Utica-Rome Technology campus.

What does an Electronic Technician do?
The technician is a skilled craftsman who works closely with an engineer to create, build, and often design electronic or computerized equipment. This highly skilled individual has learned how to operate sophistocated equipment like logic analyzers, state probes, digital oscilloscopes, and the like. The technician is able to interpret the results obtained and explain these results to others. The technician is a very hands on person who has had considerable theory in his or her field. The job of the technician differs from that of an engineer who is more theoretically trained and has less hands on experience. |

An EET graduate can work as a test technician, engineering design assistant, or field service technician in high-tech electronics industries. The EET curriculum is the perfect fit for anyone interested in working with the latest technologies. Possible areas of employment include robotics and automation, telecommunications, home entertainment and consumer electronics, microprocessors, computers and programming; and power generation and distribution. |

| The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology Degree |
| The BS in Electrical Technology typically involves an additional two years of education at a four year school. Our students routinely transfer into both Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and the SUNY Technology Center at Utica-Rome. Penn State-Altoona Campus (PSU) and Alfred Tech also accept our graduates. Two years at Broome Community College will earn the AAS degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. 64 Semester Credits will transfer from BCC. An additional 64 Semester Credit Hours at the four year level will earn the BS degree. The four year technology graduate is referred to as a 'Super Tech' having had more math, humanities, and technical course work. Note that these are both 'Technology' degrees and are not at the theoretical level of a pure Electrical Engineering degree. To accomplish the BSEE degree, one would have to take additional Calculus, Physics, Chemistry and other course work to transfer into a pure Engineering program. Engineers and technologists have different jobs and support one another in the industry. If you already have a 'hands on' inclination, then technology may be for you. |
