Electrical, Laser and Robotics Engineering Technology, A.S.
|
|
Degree Code: B17
Associate in Science
The Electrical, Laser and Robotics Engineering Technology Program offers a unique set of courses designed to provide the skills required by the Connecticut industry and throughout the Northeast Region. Originally named Electrical Engineering Technology, the Program curriculum has been focused on automated controls for over 35 years. The Laser/Fiber Optics core has been incorporated into the program and the automated controls courses have been expanded to include additional focus on Robotics.
The Program offers core courses in Electrical, Electronics, Lasers, Optics and Automated Controls. Students can also design their own concentration through project opportunities offered in several courses. Some related areas include Electrical Power/Alternate Energy, Machine Vision, Wireless/Fiber Optic Communications, Internet of Things (IoT) and others. Classes are limited in number to allow Faculty time for one on one instruction. All courses are taught in the laboratory with an emphasis on hands on experience through lab exercises, demonstrations and projects.
Students find job opportunities in industrial automation, manufacturing/test engineering, product development and other roles in a variety of industries.
Many of our students are already working in industry and pursue the Associate Degree to further their career opportunities.
