Hi all,
I just found this forum recently and would like to get some opinions on my big questions about education.
I am starting my second year in an Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology course at my local community college in Dayton OH. I don't know what my future education plans will be, but, I do know that I don't want to limit my options. I have decided to take college courses instead of technical courses in math and English (and possibly physics, please advise). I am currently taking Trig and have to take Calc next. I am finishing up circuit analysis, and beginning semi-conductors.
Can anyone explain to me what the practical differences are between an electronics engineering degree and a engineering technology degree. I know that for the EE degree I would need several quarters of Calculus, and I am trying to decide now if I should continue on with math or stop at Calc 1 which is all that is required for a tech degree.
Also, can you tell me what types of jobs are available for a person with an Associates degree in ECET?? The college highlights repair work as the largest application, and I would like to know if that is the only good application. What type of job could I get with a 4 year degree??
I am having a blast learning and look forward to some projects that I have in mind to try. But, right now I'm trying to concentrate on school and want to make sure that I'm making the right decisions for the future. Any clues would be appreciated.
