What is the difference between an Engineer (EE) and an Engineering Technologist (EET)?
Engineering curriculum is traditionally based more on the theory while engineering technology curriculum is based more on the application. Engineering students are required to take additional mathematics classes (Calc II, Calc III, Linear Alg. & Diff. Eq., and Prob.& Stats.) while engineering technology students take additional applied electronics courses. Every engineering technology course requires a “hands on” laboratory while engineering courses may or may not have a lab component. Both Electronics Engineering and Electronics Engineering Technology programs are offered at Weber State University so students can find the right program and fit for them.
