Turn your talents into an exciting career with a degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET). In this program, you will study the basics of electronic circuits and devices, technical math, physics, computer language, communication systems, data acquisition, and networking. A combination of classroom study and hands-on lab work leads to a final capstone project in which you will design and complete a project that includes hardware and software components as well as industry-related documentation.

Upon completion of this associate's degree, you can land a lucrative career in a high-tech field. You can also choose to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering at UW-La Crosse, or other available transfer options.
