Electrical and Computer Engineering Transfer Option
Associate Degree Program
Electrical and computer engineers design, research, develop, and test electrical and computer systems and components. Their expertise allows them to contribute to a wide range of industries – from helping to ensure the security of networks and computers to creating more sustainable energy resources or designing new and innovative medical equipment. They are the innovators that help create the products that we use and rely on in our daily lives for work, entertainment, safety, health, and happiness.
Delaware Tech’s associate degree program will prepare students for transfer to a baccalaureate electrical or computer engineering program that leads to a career as an electrical or computer engineer. Rigorous mathematics, chemistry, physics, computer science, and electrical and computer engineering courses prepare students for their final two years of study at a four-year institution. View the section on Connected Degree programs below to learn more about your options for transfer.
Offered at the following campus(es): Stanton
