The Electrical/Electronic Technology program prepares students for high wage job opportunities in many different areas. Our Graduates play a vital role in keeping our high-tech world running. They conceive, design, build, operate and maintain the systems and processes in a variety of industries. Graduates experience a multi-disciplinary program that allows them to be a highly productive team member; often bridging the gap between the engineer and the layperson that is charged with implementing the design.

Because of the level of skill and responsibility required, positions in the area of electrical and electronic technology usually offer above average pay and benefits. As large and small companies continue to install high-tech production systems, graduates from this program are provided with opportunities for advancement into management positions. Typical starting titles include, Control Systems Technician, Instrumentation/Automation Technician, Electrical/Electronic Maintenance Technician and Instrumentation Technician. Typical starting salaries range from $35,000 - $45,000 per year. There are many opportunities locally in this field and oftentimes students are offered positions even before they graduate from their program.

Industry support of the program allows for current industry standard equipment in the classroom, which provides an authentic learning environment for students. Equipment such as state of the art motor control trainers, programmable logic controllers (PLC) and instrumentation equipment are used in the learning experience provided to OSU-Okmulgee students.

The course offered within the EET program of study can be applied to the A.A.S degree offered by OSU-Okmulgee. Students are required to complete additional general education course in order to meet the requirement of the degree. See a plan of study for more information or call our offices.
