Electrical Engineering Technology 2 Plus 2 Program

The electrical engineering technology (EET) program at MSOE is a "+2 EET" (junior/senior years) program. Based on this design, it is not appropriate for new-to-college freshman students. Transfer students and returning former MSOE EET students are eligible for admission.

Students who have graduated with an Associate of Applied Science degree in electrical/electronics engineering technology from an institution with which MSOE has a transfer agreement in EET, and who meet the EET program admission requirements at MSOE, will be accepted into the EET program with junior standing.

Those with other A.A.S. degrees or other college experience also are encouraged to apply. Applicants who are accepted may be required to complete prerequisite course work at other college campuses. A transition plan into the BS-EET program will be developed with an EET program advisor. The transition plan will identify the prerequisites to be fulfilled in order to establish junior standing in the EET program. Students who are enrolled/plan to be enrolled in a two-year college in the Wisconsin Technical College System should consult the EET program information on this Web site.

Opportunities have been developed in cooperation with the Wisconsin Technical College System. Graduates from an Associate of Applied Science degree program in Electrical Engineering Technology (who meet specific conditions listed later in this section) at several Wisconsin Technical Colleges may transfer into the junior year of MSOE's Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology (BS-EET) program.

This opportunity not only provides associate degree graduates with the education and skills they need for employment in today's fast-paced electronics industry, but also enables them to extend their education with study toward a BS-EET degree without losing credit for work already completed at the technical college.

This 2+2 program enables an EET associate degree graduate from a college in the Wisconsin Technical College System to be admitted with junior status into MSOE's Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology (BS-EET) program if the graduate meets the following conditions:

  • Has successfully completed all courses in the Associate of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering Technology program with a grade of C or better (not C-) in each course;
  • Has successfully completed any other specified courses at the technical college with a grade of "C" or better (not C-) in each course; and
  • Meets the MSOE admission requirements for transfer students into the BS-EET program, with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or greater for full acceptance (GPA of 2.50 to 2.74 for acceptance on probationary status).

Advice for Other Transfer Students

Students whose previous formal education has been gained through a technical, community or junior college are required to consult with the Admission Office at MSOE about credit transfer. Consultation with an electrical engineering technology program advisor is required to plan a transition schedule around their previously completed and qualifying academic experience.

A student who plans to transfer from another college into the program at some future date is encouraged to correspond with the Admission Office at MSOE. The student will be assisted in coordinating, as closely as possible, courses to be taken at another institution of higher education with those courses that are part of the graduation requirements at MSOE. The MSOE philosophy of individual attention to each student is a major factor in making a successful academic transition possible.

Additional Transfer Options

Other options for transferring an associate degree or two years of study into the junior year of an MSOE program also exist for the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Bachelor of Science in Management degree and the Bachelor of Science in Technical Communication degree at MSOE. Any prerequisite voids may be fulfilled at MSOE.

Having these other options available provides the associate degree graduate with greater flexibility in preparing for career choices that may change as they pursue their associate degree.
