EET Curriculum Table (4 Year Program)
There are two paths for the B.S. in Electrical Engineering Technology: 4-year program, where all four years of the curriculum are completed at Rowan University and the 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. The last two years of both programs are very similar, with minor changes to ensure that both paths consist of exactly 120 credits and both paths satisfy the University’s general education requirements (branded as Rowan Core). The first two years of the 2+2 program are designed to be very flexible, allowing students at most two-year ET or EET A.A.S. programs to seamlessly transfer to Rowan University.
The first two years of the four-year program feature Rowan ECE’s unique courses, including the Engineering Clinics, Solving Tomorrow’s Problems, Fundamentals of Digital Systems, Electric Circuits I and II, Electronics, Instrumentation and Measurement, Controls Systems and Programmable Logic Controllers, whereas a flexible set of circuits, electronics, digital systems and other engineering and technology focus electives can be used to transfer into the 2+2 program.
In either case, you may use the several electives provided in the last year to custom-design your degree. Furthermore, 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 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 II is needed to proceed to the next course in its sequence.
- Rowan Core requires six literacies: Communication, Quantitative, Scientific, Humanisic, Artistic, and Global. The first four are satisfied by major courses (indicated as UNDERLINED above). The remaining two must be taken from appropriate bank of courses, one of which must carry "Literature" attribute. Artistic and Global Rowan Core courses are shown above as place holders 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.
- 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.
- 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.
9. 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)
RS: ENGR 01.101 First-Year Engineering Clinic satisfies Rowan Seminar, and WI: EGR 02.452 Senior Technology Clinic II satisfies the Writing Intensive requirement of Rowan Experience. Literature requirement must be satisfied by a Rowan Core / general education elective.

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, Humanisic, Artistic, and Global. The first four are satisfied by major courses (indicated in green above). The remaining two must be taken from appropriate bank of courses, one of which must carry "Literature" attribute. Artistic and Global Rowan Core courses are shown above as place holders 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.
