 Lakeland’s
electronic engineering technology program prepares
students for a wide range of engineering and technology
related employment opportunities. Electronic engineering
technicians use principles and theories of science,
engineering, and mathematics to solve technical
problems in research and development, manufacturing,
sales, construction, inspection, and maintenance
trades. Lakeland’s technology program combines a
hands-on education in analog and digital systems,
robotics, instrumentation and process control, motors,
microcontrollers, programmable logic controllers,
and software programming with state-of-the-art software

II.
Lakeland is proud to be one of
only a handful of colleges nationwide to offer a
two-year degree program in electronic engineering
technology that is TAC/ABET (Technology Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board of Engineering
and Technology) accredited. This accreditation ensures
transfer students pursuing a four-year technology
degree will receive maximum transfer of credits
to other colleges and universities due to TAC/ABET’s
strict program requirements.
According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, opportunities for employment in electronic
engineering technology will be best for individuals
with an associate’s degree. In the current job market,
the electronic and electrical engineering technology
positions comprise of 43 percent of all engineering
technician jobs nationwide. Graduates of Lakeland’s
electronic engineering technology program will benefit
from the increasing number of job opportunities
