Electrical Engineering Technology
In RIT’s electrical engineering technology degree, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of electrical and electronics theory and its application, applied design, and implementation to electrical and electronic systems. The electrical engineering technology degree also provides you with the ability to specialize in specific areas of the discipline.
Engineering Technology vs. Engineering, What’s the Difference?
An engineering technology degree emphasizes practical skills and hands-on application, preparing graduates to excel in solving real-world problems, implementing solutions, and optimizing existing systems. It focuses on the direct application of engineering principles, making it ideal for those who thrive in operational, technical, and project-driven environments. In comparison, an engineering degree leans more heavily on theoretical concepts, often preparing graduates for research or conceptual development roles. Engineering technology professionals are highly valued for their ability to translate complex ideas into actionable outcomes, making them indispensable in industries that prioritize efficiency and innovation.
