<p>Will an Associate's Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology and/or Computer Engineering Technology get you a job reasonably quickly upon graduation? Are there certain focuses that would make me more marketable? I currently live in Florida if that helps. Also, to be quite honest I am not even sure what jobs are available for someone with these degrees. I have asked the school with no help. The counselors didn't have a clue aside from the catalog description and I haven't gotten any responses from anyone in the engineering department. The internet doesn't have too much information on it either. So any insight would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>According to [Accredited</a> Program Search](<a href=“http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramSearch.aspx/AccreditationSearch.aspx]Accredited”>http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramSearch.aspx/AccreditationSearch.aspx) , there are no ABET accredited associates degree programs at all in Florida. That would be a reason to be skeptical of such a degree program at a school in Florida, since engineering technology degree programs are normally ABET accredited. And if the school is of no help with job and career directions for obviously pre-professionally oriented degree programs, that is even more reason to be skeptical.</p>
<p>Looking at Daytona State website it does say it is becoming ABET certified through their partnership with University of Central Florida which is accredited. I do plan on getting a Bachelors but I would like to be working during that. <a href=“404: Page Not Found”>http://www.daytonastate.edu/gr/files/2010_Leg_Case_Statement.pdf</a>
page 6 under faculty and cirriculum talks about the ABET</p>
<p>I’m currently an EEET student at my CC, but my A.S. program is one of the few that are accredited. You have to look at te required courses to gain an idea of what kind of work you’ll do. For example: at some point we’re going to have to take a course on instrumentation, which means we’ll (ideally) be able to secure entry level positions as instrument technicians for refineries and what not.</p>
<p>However, the best way to find out is to ask the instructors of your major’s primary courses. Those courses should have to be taught by people with masters degrees in a relevant discipline (either electrical engineering or engineering technology), and if they’ve worked locally they can tell you what kind of work to expect after you graduate. In my case, engineers and technicians typically work in the oil and gas industry. I’ve also met a graduate of the program; his story seems to confirm what I’ve been told my the instructors.</p>
<p>You should ask the college when the degree programs will become ABET accredited.</p>
