Program Mission, Description, and Outcomes
Mission:
To prepare students for successful employment in the field of Engineering Technology and Electronics through quality education and advisement.
Description:
The program prepares graduates for technical positions in the expanding fields of electrical, digital, computers and microprocessors. The primary objective is to provide a broad foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge in the areas of electrical and electronics circuits, digital circuits, computers, power systems, programmable logic controllers, microprocessors, and control systems.
The program uses a 2 + 2 model requiring the completion of an associates degree for entry into the program. The degree components are below.
Program Educational Objectives:
-
Career: Graduates will use their broad understanding of the key principles and practices of engineering technology, the written and oral communications skills, and the ability to work with others to apply these skills and knowledge to the design, implementation, and maintenance of systems.
-
Skills: Graduates will contribute to their profession using the mathematical and scientific concepts that underlie engineering technology applications, will apply this understanding, and acquire new skills and knowledge necessary to analyze technology problems and develop suitable solutions.
-
Professionalism and Ethics: Graduates will understand the ethical, human, and social issues of their field and will be involved members of their local and global communities acting as responsible technical professionals.
-
Life-Long Learning: Graduates will be active contributors to their employer and their profession with a strong commitment to continuous individual and organizational improvement, effective communication, teamwork, quality, timeliness, and continued professional development.
Program Outcomes:
Graduates of the program will be able to:
-
Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
-
Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
-
Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
-
Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
-
Function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
Program Competencies
The program prepares graduates to have competence in the following curricular areas:
-
the application of circuit analysis and design, computer programming, associated software, analog and digital electronics, and microcomputers, and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems;
-
the application of natural sciences and mathematics at or above the level of algebra and trigonometry to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic systems;
-
the ability to analyze, design, and implement one or more of the following: control systems, instrumentation systems, communications systems, computer systems, or power systems;
-
the ability to apply project management techniques to electrical/electronic(s) systems; and
-
the ability to utilize differential and integral calculus, as a minimum, to characterize the performance of electrical/electronic systems.
Financial Aid
This program is eligible for federal financial aid and state Bright Futures Scholarship Program.
Financing Options: All students are encouraged to apply for federal and state student financial assistance by completing their FAFSA at studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. For more information on grants, loans and work programs available see the Office of Financial Aid webpage at daytonastate.edu/financial-aid/. Students are also encouraged to apply for one of the many Daytona State College Foundation scholarships offered each semester. For more information see: daytonastate.edu/scholarships/.
Additional Admission Requirements
-
A completed Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology application. An application to the BSET program can be completed in the Admissions Office, the BSET program office, or online through https://www.daytonastate.edu.
-
A conferred Associate of Arts or Science or Applied Science, with an overall grade point average of 2.5, from a regionally accredited institution of higher education; or
-
Sixty (60) credits of transferrable college-level coursework from a regionally accredited institution, with all core coursework having grades “C” or better.
-
Typically, graduates of A.S. degree programs transfer 15-18 credits of General Education Core. A.A. graduates will typically transfer the total 36 General Education Core Requirements into the BSET program. A.A. graduates or those admitted with 60+ college credits will also require 18 hours in technical courses, or other area approved by the department chair in lieu of the additional general education courses required of the A.S. student. Please see an advisor for individual technical area requirements.
-
A grade point average between 2.0 and 2.49 may be admitted conditionally. Applicants may be admitted to the program with the approval of the Chair of the BSET program.
-
Completion with a grade of “C” or better of ENC 1101 – English or its equivalent.
-
Completion with a grade of “C” or better of MAC 1105 – College Algebra or its equivalent.
-
Completion with a grade of “C” or better of PHY2048 – Physics with Calculus or students will be required to take ETG 3541 Applied Mechanics and Physics.
-
Official transcripts from all previous post-secondary institutions must be received for evaluation by the Records Office at Daytona State. International Students must have their transcripts evaluated by a recognized international evaluator.
Additional Completion Requirements
- Completion of a C-Language Computer Programming (e.g. EGN3214, COP2001, COP2220, COP2800, COP2360, or equivalent) course.
- Completion of Senior Design courses (ETI4448 and ETG4950C) at Daytona State College.
- Completion with a grade of “C” or better for all program specific courses
