Associate of Science - Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering

Students completing the program will be able to... • Apply analysis tools and computer tools in problem solving. • Identify interdisciplinary aspects of engineering projects. • Apply software engineering principles and procedures. • Do computer algorithm development using C and C++ techniques. • Understand the operation and control of electrical measuring equipment. • Use computer programming skills to develop software for automation, decision making and control of equipment. • Develop test software for evaluation of digital circuits. • Analyze the operation of small scale digital and analog • circuits. • Design simple operational amplifier circuits. • Demonstrate knowledge of magnetism and its applications in the design of transformers and actuators. • Assemble and test digital and analog circuits from circuit diagrams.

The associate degree program in electrical engineering and computer engineering (EECE) prepares the students for a career in the EECE field or to transfer to a four-year degree program. Graduates entering the workforce will be able to perform the tasks typically expected of an assistant engineer. Students who intend to transfer are advised to select general education Option 2 (IGETC) or Option 3 (CSU GE). General education option 1 (DVC general education) is appropriate for students who do not intend to transfer.

Most core requirement courses have math and science prerequisites. Students must see a counselor for planning appropriate coursework sequence. To earn an associate degree in electrical engineering and computer engineering, students must complete the core requirements with a “C” grade or higher. Students must also complete general education requirements as listed in the catalog. Certain courses may satisfy both major and general education requirement; however the units are only counted once.
