EET Curriculum Table (4 Year Program)
There are currently two paths for the B.S. in Electrical Engineering Technology: the new, and now the default, 4-year program, where all four years of the curriculum are completed at Rowan University and former, legacy 2+2 option, where the first two years of the program are completed at your local community college that offers an Engineering Technology (and preferably an Electrical Engineering Technology) program. Starting in 2026, these two options will merge, allowing a seamless and uniform program for both students starting at Rowan and those transferring from a community college. Students who started in the 2+2 path will be able to complete their program under the existing curriculum. The new program integrates new and modern courses to the existing best components of the legacy 2+2 program.
The first two years of the new four-year program feature Rowan ECE’s unique courses, including the Engineering Clinics, Solving Tomorrow’s Problems, Fundamentals of Digital Systems, Modern Circuit Analysis & Design, Electronics, Instrumentation and Measurement, whereas a flexible set of circuits, electronics, digital systems, Programmable Logic Controllers, Rapid Prototyping, Mechatronics /Robotics and a wide variety of electives constitute the 3rd and 4th years. The new EET program also includes some of the hallmarks of the ECE program, including Engineering Clinics, Professionalism and Consulting, Frontiers in Engineering, and an out-of-discipline / multidisciplinary experience.
One additional program note: if you are interested in taking the F.E. Exam, or pursuing a graduate program, and believe additional advanced math can benefit either of those goals, you may take one Calculus III or higher math class and apply it to your senior electives.
The curriculum tables of both programs are provided below. Please make sure to read the notes for each program.

Notes:
- Courses listed in bold face need to be completed with a minimum grade higher than D- to satisfy the prerequisites of one or more subsequent courses. A minimum grade of "C-" is needed in Precalculus, Calculus I, and Calculus II to proceed to the next course in its sequence.
- Rowan Core requires six literacies: Communication, Quantitative, Scientific, Humanistic, Artistic, and Global. The first four are satisfied by major courses (indicated as UNDERLINED above). The remaining two must be taken from an appropriate bank of courses, one of which must carry the "Literature" attribute, and one of which must carry the "Writing Intensive (WI)" attribute. Artistic and Global Rowan Core courses are shown above as placeholders only. They can be taken at any time in any order.
- A class that focuses on statistics is required. STAT 02.286 Prob & Stat. for ECEs or ME 10.342 Quality and Reliability in Design and Manufacture are recommended. STAT 02.260 Statistics I is acceptable under special circumstances (please contact Department Head).
- EC E09.461 can be taken either in Fall or Spring. However, taking in the Fall semester is recommended as the course content prepares you for job searching and interviewing.
- EET Specialization electives are 300 or 400-level EET courses that are not otherwise required as part of the EET core curriculum. ECE courses at 300 or 400 level courses (not otherwise required as part of the EET core curriculum) may also be taken to satisfy this requirement. One non-ECE/EET course may be taken towards these electives requirements if it is a technical 400-level course. No more than two courses taken towards a CUGS may be counted towards EET electives. Required courses taken for Minor in Systems Engineering (ECE 09.421 and ECE 09.427) cannot be also used towards ECE/EET electives.
- OOD / Multidisciplinary experience requirement can be satisfied by any of the following. When completed, ask your advisor to put a note on your DW record.
- Participating in one out-of-discipline clinic project
- Providing consulting services to a non-ECE clinic or other research project through ECE 09.461 Clinic Consultant / Professionalism and Cons.;
- Taking a non-ECE technical class (must be 300 or 400-level) as an elective or an elective offered by the ECE Department but one that is clearly outside of the traditional boundaries of ECE providing non-ECE content (such as bioinformatics, biomedical systems and devices)
- Completing a Minor in any technical field or a CUGS offered by a program outside of ECE (no double dipping with ECE courses allowed)

Notes:
- Courses listed in bold face need to be completed with a minimum grade higher than D- to satisfy the prerequisites of one or more subsequent courses. A minimum grade of "C-" is needed in Precalculus, Calculus I and II is needed to proceed to the next course in its sequence.
- Rowan Core requires six literacies: Communication, Quantitative, Scientific, Humanistic, Artistic, and Global. The first four are satisfied by major courses (indicated as UNDERLINED above). The remaining two must be taken from an appropriate bank of courses, one of which must carry the "Literature" attribute, and one of which must carry the "Writing Intensive (WI)" attribute. Artistic and Global Rowan Core courses are shown above as placeholders only. They can be taken at any time in any order.
- The base Physics I and II courses in the EET program are non-Calculus-based courses. However, calculus-based Physics I and II courses are also acceptable for transfer purposes.
- The program includes 12 credits of EET CORE that consist of Electric Circuits I and II, Digital Electronics / Logic Circuits, and Electronics. At some schools, these are offered as three courses of 4 credits each, whereas at others, four courses of 3 credits each. Either combination is acceptable.
- Any appropriate Introduction to Engineering / Design course (or a combination of courses) that add up to 4 credits can be used to satisfy this requirement.
- Different Engineering Technology programs at various community colleges offer different focus areas. To accommodate such a diverse set of programs, we will accept up to four science/technology focus electives. Three courses should directly relate to engineering technology (preferably to EET). A fourth course can be more general science-oriented (or another engineering technology course)
- A class that focuses on statistics is required. STAT 02.286 Prob & Stat. for ECEs or ME 10.342 Quality and Reliability in Design and Manufacture are recommended. STAT 02.260 Statistics I is acceptable.
- A class that focuses on project management is required. You may choose from EET 03.490 Project Management, ME 10.443 Design for X, ENGR 01.496 New Product Development or MIS 02.235 Project Management.
- 9. EET Specialization electives are 300 or 400-level EET courses that are not otherwise required as part of the EET core curriculum. ECE courses at 300 or 400 level courses (not otherwise requried as part of the EET core curriculum) may also be taken to satisfy this requirement. One non-ECE/EET course may be taken towards these electives requirements if it is a technical 400-level course. No more than two courses taken towards a CUGS may be counted towards EET electives. Required courses taken for Minor in Systems Engineering (ECE 09.421 and ECE 09.427) cannot be also used towards ECE/EET electives.
