Set Yourself Up for a Great Career
Admission Requirements
Valencia is one of the premier public institutions in the nation to
This is a 2 + 2 program, meaning you must first complete an associate degree before you can transfer into the bachelor’s program.
offer the Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology. With additional education at the bachelor’s level and professional experience, you will have the opportunity to enhance your job skills and have more exciting career options available to you in this field. Our program offers three distinct concentrations with a wide choice of courses in a variety of different modalities based on your area of interest and career goals.
Transferring with an A.S. Degree Must complete an A.S. in Electronics Engineering Technology, including: • 42 credit hours of discipline-specific courses • 18 credit hours of general education Transferring with an A.A. Degree Must complete an A.A. with Pre-Engineering coursework, including: • 24 credit hours of associate level coursework • 36 hours of general education • Math through Calculus II • Science through General Physics with Calculus II Refer to the catalog portion of this program guide for specific course requirements.
Choose from three concentrations: • Computer Systems • Electrical/Electronic Systems • Lasers and Photonics
If your degree is in another field, you must undergo a formal evaluation
Potential Careers If you have an A.S. degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, an A.A. degree with engineering coursework, or an associate degree articulated to Valencia’s BSECET program, you are qualified for direct admission into this program. Other transfer programs must be formally evaluated by the BSECET department.
• Computer Systems Engineer
• Laser Engineer
• Electrical Engineer
• Laser Electronics Engineer
• Electronic Engineer
• Photonics Engineer
• Data and Communication Engineer
• Optical Engineer • Electro-Optical Engineer
Further Educational Opportunities With a completed B.S. degree, additional doors to advanced academic programs are opened. These include graduate degree programs in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Engineering Technology.
