What is a better degree to have. electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology?

[The Solid One]

 

[How Sway?]

Computer engineering

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Electrical engineering, but they both bring good job stability

 

[Nobu]

idk, but most the EEs and other engineers including Mech, Chem etc at my school ended up pursuing pure software jobs anyway and a lot wish they just did CS.

 

[Givethanks]

Isn't EE 4 years and EET 2?

 

[Freedman]

One of boys got an EET degree from a HBCU and got a job at Boeing

None of that shyt matters. Don't focus so much on the type of degree if you're going that route. Just focus on getting in demand skill sets. Coding, power systems, telecommunications/networks, etc.

 

[TRY GOD]

Engineering deals with more theory. Technology deals with the engineering in action. The former is academic where's the ladder is making it more Hands-On.

If you know how to market yourself, using the technology degree, you can explain on your curriculum vitae that you were not only learning the engineering, you were engaged in it physically giving you a bit more leverage and experience.

this is bad info to give out man.

so a breh pursuing a civil engineering degree should just do the bare minimum in and not pay attention during load bearing, weight distribution etc?

EEs shouldnt take class serious? so they dont need to know how to transfer electricity and stuff?

 

[Idaeo]

get an EE not an EET.

EE has more credits of engineering fundamentals that EET doesn't have. many engineering jobs look for and verify that those credits are on your transcript.

i've been an EE for 12+ years

Technician 2

Technologist 4

Over here technician 2, technologist 3, engineer 4

Ontario, Canada

Where you located?

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

I have no idea about either, but the naming seems go give it completely away.


Electrical Engineering should be the actual practice whereas Electrical Engineering Technology is merely the products produced as a result.



Figure it out

 

[FLATOP]

Find upperclassmen in those majors and ask them what they wish they shouldve did

If youre incoming freshman declaring your major, it dont really matter what you pick yet, youll be taking gen-ed courses anyways

 

[prose00]

youre more or less considered an electrician with a EET degree.

Take the harder but opportunistic route in EE, its more beneficial and versatile in the long run
