Electronics Engineering at SHSU
The BS in Engineering Technology with a concentration in Electronics Engineering Technology at SHSU prepares students to develop and support electronic systems used in industries ranging from telecommunications to robotics. Students gain hands-on experience with circuits, microcontrollers, embedded systems, and signal processing. With a curriculum grounded in real-world problem solving and lab work, the program equips graduates to enter careers in electronics design, automation, systems integration, and continue into graduate study in engineering or technology.
How Does This Concentration Differ from Other Engineering Technology Programs?
While all Engineering Technology degrees share a foundation in applied science and design, the Electronics Concentration focuses on the systems that power automation, communication, and control technologies. Students interested in mechanical systems, construction management, or safety leadership may find related concentrations in Manufacturing, Design, or Environmental, Health, and Safety Management better suited to their goals.
Is This Program Right for Me?
This program is ideal for students who enjoy hands-on problem solving and want to work directly with hardware, circuits, and digital systems. It blends engineering theory with real-world application, preparing graduates for roles in industrial automation, robotics, renewable energy, and electronics design. Students also complete a minor, giving them the flexibility to tailor their education toward management, computing, or other specialized fields.
Why Choose This Program?
Gain hands-on experience in circuit design, robotics, and automation with an industry-driven curriculum that prepares you for high-tech engineering and electronics careers.
-
Hands-On Circuit Design
