Electrical Engineering Technology

Grand Canyon University’s Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology was developed with industry guidance to address the broad, foundational knowledge and skills required to be contributors as electrical engineering technicians, electronics engineering technicians, service engineers, industrial automation technicians, robotics technicians, telecommunications technicians, electric machinery technicians, and technician supervisors. This program teaches topics and assesses competency in circuits, analog and digital electronics, signal processing, communications, computer design, electronic materials, controls and robotics, power and machinery, and technical documentation.

This program integrates math, chemistry, physics, and biology and emphasizes critical thinking, real-world applications, and practical project management project experience. In addition, students develop valuable workplace skills, including effective communication, teamwork, initiative, strong work ethic, analytical skills, adaptability, and self-confidence. Students learn professional and ethical practices associated with engineering through the lens of the Christian worldview.
