DeVry University provides highly interactive coursework and several innovative resources to
help ensure your success when taking engineering technology courses online. This includes test
equipment, hardware kits and access to a dedicated home lab manager to assist students with
software and hardware configuration, in their own home lab environment.

The Engineering Technology Electronics degree

program is offered online only and is currently
not accredited by the Technology Accreditation
Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET). TAC of ABET
requires separate reviews of each engineering
technology program, both online and at each
physical location. DeVry will seek accreditation for
this program as soon as appropriate, in accordance
with TAC of ABET procedures. Future accreditation is
not guaranteed.

careers in
engineering technology

knowledge
and skills

Electronics engineers are sought after in many different industries

from consumer product design to medical device manufacturing
to communications. Your ability to both design and develop these
solutions can make you a valuable asset to any team.

Engineering and Technology3 Use knowledge of the practical

application of engineering science and technology. This includes applying
principles, techniques, procedures and equipment to the design and
production of various goods and services.

DeVry Universitys Engineering Technology Electronics degree

program focuses on advanced skill development, using the most current
tools and techniques. You can also build on the written and verbal
communication skills that will help you to lead teams of engineers to
solve 21st century business and electronics challenges.

Computers and Electronics3 Gain knowledge of circuit boards,

processors, chips, electronic equipment and computer hardware and
software, including applications and programming.

According to O*NET OnLine, using data from the Bureau of Labor

Statistics, employment of electronics engineering technologists is
expected to grow 3 to 6 percent between 2008 and 2018.3 According
to the BLSs Occupational Outlook Handbook, as technology becomes
more sophisticated, employers will continue to look for technicians who
are skilled in new technology and who require little additional training.3
