Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology
As industries become more automated and society becomes more dependent on electronic data communication, the demand increases for professionals who can make informed decisions based on technical knowledge and experience. That is why the Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) degree program at Bowling Green State University has a progressive curriculum.
Electronics and computer engineering technology program is a comprehensive study of diverse areas such as
- Computer Hardware and Interfacing,
- Computer-Based Instrumentation and Process Control,
- Digital Communication and Networking, and
- Electric Motors and Controls.
Admissions Process

Certification or Licensure
Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) degree program is recognized as a "professional degree" that qualifies for experience/education credit toward Ohio Professional Engineering (PE) Licensure. Graduates from BGSU's ETAC ABET-accredited ECET program or those currently enrolled in their final two semesters may register for the Fundamentals in Engineering (FE) exam.
To qualify for the PE exam in Ohio, you will need to pass the FE exam first. Graduates of ETAC-ABET accredited engineering technology programs must have completed eight years of acceptable engineering experience before passing the PE examination and obtaining registration.
Upon completion of the baccalaureate degree, students in the Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology program will be capable of the following Student Outcomes (SO).
- SO 1: An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline of Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology;
- SO 2: An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline of Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology;
- SO 3: An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
- SO 4: An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments using skills appropriate to Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
- SO 5: An ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
EET Outcomes:
- SO 1: 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;
- SO 2: 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;
- SO 3: The ability to analyze, design, and implement one or more of the following: control systems, instrumentation systems, communication systems, computer systems, or power systems;
- SO 4: The ability to apply project management techniques to electrical/electronic(s) systems; and
- SO 5: The ability to utilize differential and integral calculus, as a minimum, to characterize the performance of electrical/electronic systems.
CET Outcomes:
- SO 1: Application of electric circuits, computer programming, associated software applications, analog and digital electronics, microcontrollers, operating systems, local area networks, and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of computer systems and associated software systems;
- SO 2: Application of natural sciences and mathematics at or above the level of algebra and trigonometry to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of computer systems and associated software systems;
- SO 3: Analysis, design, and implementation of computer system hardware and software;
- SO 4: Application of project management techniques to computer systems; and
- SO 5: Utilization of statistics/probability, transform methods, discrete mathematics, or applied differential equations in support of computer systems and networks.
