Why choose electrical and computer engineering technology?

Electrical and computer engineering technologists bridge the gap between design and implementation, research and development, and transition and operation. They are involved in the design, development, and sustainment of technology solutions that touch every aspect of modern life, from manufacturing to medical devices, from avionics to automotive, from wireless devices to financial services.
