Teams of trained people are needed to conceive, design, develop, and produce new answers to modern technical problems. The roles of the team members may vary, but the electrical engineering technologist generally uses the hands-on, application-oriented approach. Although technologists have knowledge of theoretical issues, they tend to focus on using current, state-of-the-art and emerging technologies to solve practical design and application problems.<\/p>\n<p>Electrical engineering technology students can tailor their program to meet their needs by selecting specific technical electives to fill individual interests or career plans.

Many of the labs are open beyond scheduled lab periods so students can investigate more extensively concepts developed in their courses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Communications, Controls, Digital and Microprocessor labs are equipped with a variety of instrumentation described below. Much of the instrumentation in these labs is state-of the- art equipment of the type that students will encounter in industrial settings, including meters, oscilloscopes, plotters, signal generators, frequency counters, spectrum analyzers, data and protocol analyzers, OTDRs, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The department has established a multi-purpose EET lab equipped with sixteen stations. These computers are used for CAD, general purpose report writing using Microsoft Office and for support of EET, ECE and CET lab courses. Application software supporting a range of courses includes Electrical CAD software PCAD2007 for Schematic Capture and PCB layout, assemblers and general purpose tools such as Micro Sims Schematic and Pspice A\/D and Basics, Circuit Analysis software, Electronics Workbench, and MATLAB by the MathWorks supporting Controls and Communications courses; and SILO software supporting digital design and OptSim, LAN Planner solo and MIDE software packages; The department continues to add applications software to provide easy access on these high performance computers for EET and CET coursework.<\/p>\n<p>Controls: The control systems laboratory is equipped with EMMA II microprocessor control systems for speed and position control of dc\/stepper motors. Six stations of in-house designed DC and Stepper Motor trainers have been added to the control system lab. The laboratory also has two Feedback Robot arm and PLC workcell conveyer. Siemens and Gould Modicon PLC\u00eds are also housed in this laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>Communications: Labs are equipped with Microwave trainer systems, Mobile communication trainer, Doppler radar trainer systems, PC based analog and digital communication systems, wireless LAN, an FDDI LAN, HP protocol analyzers, spectrum analyzers, RF field strength analyzers and Emona communication modules for digital and wireless communications. An experimental lab running multi protocol network with TCP\/IP is used for ETC416 and is equipped with a Cisco Router.<\/p>\n<p>The fiber optics lab is equipped with optical time domain reflectometers (OTDR), fusion splicers, optoscope, power meters, optical spectral analyzers, couplers and Erbium doped fiber amplifier, light sources in addition to infrared viewers, cameras, coherent fiber optics, fiber optic telecommunication links and plastic and glass fibers. This lab is also equipped with various splicing, connectorizing, cleaving and polishing kits and tool accessories necessary to provide students with hands-on experience.<\/p>\n<p>Digital: The digital systems design laboratories are fully equipped with equipment which can handle systems based on the Intel architecture. Microprocessor: Microprocessor laboratories supporting microprocessor courses include: EPROM and PLD programmers; 68HC12 microcontroller trainers; MicroChip PIC trainers and programmers; Tektronix 308 8-channel logic analyzers; Tektronix 338 32-channel logic analyzers and PC Windowsbased 40-channel logic analyzers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Electrical Engineering Technology Employers<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;line-height: 1.714285714\">SUNYIT\u2019s EET graduates have been hired by hundreds of local and national companies and organizations across the spectrum of the field.
