What I learned in Electrical Engineering Technology - Electrical Technologist

This is video gives you a breakdown of what Electrical Engineering Technology is. I go over most of the courses with a short summary. This tries to condense 3 years of college in 4 mins.

[@Jeremyduru14]

What’s great about Engineering Technology is that they are ABET accredited

[@essaalkhaldi8199]

I took the mechanical engineering technology course and I’m in the second year. The good news is that it is not difficult as People always said to me and I got “A” in all the subjects. Thanks god 🙏🏻 Cheers from Qatar 🇶🇦

[@xorry77]

starting a similar degree soon. this makes me feel a little better, cheers

[@alanmoreno9074]

I got my EET and it was WORTH IT! From my experience (not sure about others) landed a job at SEL and i do the exact same thing EEs do work in a little of everything tbh design, protection studies in aspen oneliner, etc.

[@TheDingobat]

i graduate from electrical engineering technology from NAIT in Edmonton, Alberta next month!. i had all the courses you had (except for intro to renewables) my program was only 2 years. they cram us with full semesters in both years. where i live technologists get hired on typically doing field service work with utility/ oil and gas companies. cheers from Alberta!

[@1993rez]

Whats the pay like im applying to that school too, with this program in mind ?

[@Alan-tt9se]

Bro I am looking for electrical engineering technology from SAIT DOES ALBERTA OFFER GOOD CARREER FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS?

[@brandonsummers1308]

@@Alan-tt9se it depends on the type of company and your expirence. I got hired on by a field service company doing high voltage comissioning. Im also a jman electrician for 6 years. Money is good, 95% of the time i am working out of town, long hours too. Im clearing 6000-12000 per month, depending on the amount of overtime. Most companies in the industry pay overtime after 8 hours, double time after 12 hours. Paid travel. Paid gas, out of town living allowance, Company labtop and phone. Let me know of you have any questions. Cheers.

[@Twinturbomitch]

@@RobRobertRobbie why become an electrician after getting your diploma? curious because im a third year apprentice who hates the work and im going into either eet/ee. looking for something with a bit less labor and crawling threw attics lol

[@jplumantas_0785]

@@Twinturbomitch If you have an electrical background then going into eet would definitely make it easier. Would recommend going into PLC programming/industrial automation if you want less labor.

[@tempacc7815]

A lot of the comments talk how they cant find a job but its because they go for design AutoCad positions when technologist positions are best for industrial on site work. I finished my Electromechanical Technologist program a few years back and now I work for a chemical facility plant making great income plus benefits as an Industrial instrumentation specialist.

Hi! Very informative super helpful could please give us the books title please please

[@SoSaysYou]

You graduated with a B.S. in EET? Do you work as an engineer or as another title? Thanks for the video.

[@TorkiNoor]

Considered an engineer due to studied fundamentals of engineering -as where Bachelor of Science, B.S. minimum takes four to five years

[@davisdavis468]

Most people with that degree just end up getting engineering roles, but depending on where you live you just might have to work a bit harder to get licensed if you choose to do that. Im sure some people get technician or other related jobs especially when it was first introduced but nowadays it's just a curriculum preference thing.

[@jordanwelbanks7070]

You could have “think about it” to get to the “bottom line” and you will realize that baby will “turn on a dime”

[@TheCommonSenseProfessor]

Hmm, I could not get the college website to open, but it appears to be a community college. Did you get a BS in 3years or an AS (AAS).

[@RobRobertRobbie]

It's a Canadian College. It's considered a 3 year technologist program (advanced diploma). Don't know what AS is

[@TheCommonSenseProfessor]

@@RobRobertRobbie Associate's of Science. I saw that it was a Canadian College, but the degree should still be either a Bachelor's or Associate's right?

[@RobRobertRobbie]

@@TheCommonSenseProfessor It wasn't a bachelor program. I'm not familiar with Associates degrees. Might be the same thing but all I can tell you is the colleges call the program I took a advanced diploma

[@TheCommonSenseProfessor]

@@RobRobertRobbie In America 2 year degrees are associate's degrees, 4 years are Bachelor's. Here, associate engineering technology degree graduates are considered technicians, bachelor engineering technology graduates are considered technologist (even though they mostly get jobs as engineers), and bachelor degree engineering students are engineers. Thanks for the clarification. It looks like only British Columbia and Alberta off similar degrees to the US.

[@pokeman316]

@@RobRobertRobbie I just finished my first year but in a civil engineering technologist degree. In my country after the three years I can go for honors which is 1 year then go for the master of engineering(MEng) which will allow me to register as a PrEng instead of the PrEngTech. Of course it’s a bit early to make a call like this but if what you say about status is true then maybe I should continue to do the MEng after getting my degree. What are your thoughts?

[@pokeman316]

It would thus make my total years of study 5 instead of three. Would the 2 years I could I have made more from experience really make a difference and be worth it if I pursue two more years for the title PrEng instead?

[@RobRobertRobbie]

@@pokeman316 all I can say is the more doors open up with the higher education and certification you have. It all really depends on what you wanna do dawg. I don't have that answer. Look up what jobs you want in the future and see what you need to get them. Good luck on your journey friend!

[@Thomas-fc6gf]

I wonder how it would differ in a 2 year community college. Maybe just everything you listed leading to the 2 year point. Or a more compressed version of everything? Have you already landed a job in this field?

[@RobRobertRobbie]

The 2 year program will likely be leading up to the 2 mark. Trying to fit an extra 10 courses in 2 years would be alot. I have. I work for a automation contractor building machines for manufacturing. I'm doing an electricians apprenticeship atm with plans to get into programing after.

[@Thomas-fc6gf]

Robert oh that’s good to hear man. that seems like the type of work I would like to do myself. Thank you for your insight. I just subscribed to your channel. I’m a little lost and just seeking knowledge. I have been working as a machine operator in the production / manufacturing scene for a while. And I know that now is the time for me to further my education and move forward. I’m a bit scared but I feel this is the right move for me. How are you enjoying your work?

[@RobRobertRobbie]

@@Thomas-fc6gf Thanks for the sub. Yeah man do it. The 3 year option if you have it would open more doors. All engineering/programming jobs prefer the 3 year program. But it all depends on what you want to do. I do like my job as an electrician. But if I jumped into programming from the beginning I would be making alot more cash. Either way the electrical ticket will help in the longer run with career advancement/stability. The only issue with manufacturing is when the economy is down (like it is now) it's likely you can get laid off. Gotta make sure you get the skills and experience to make yourself an asset.

No you don't. Many guys that started out didn't know anything about basic electrical theory and the advanced topics. However the course started with 120 students and only 40 graduated. So it certainly tests your abilities. Good luck friend 👍

Man, I wish I had seen this earlier when I was researching programs in the fall. I was thinking about taking this exact program at Conestoga but when looking at job postings I kept seeing that a lot of them have a driver's license requirement; unfortunately I have a health condition that impairs my ability to drive :( Do you know if it would be difficult to land a job in the field with a restriction like this? Is it a common requirement to be able to travel from one work-site to another as an Electrical Engineering Technologist?

[@me73941]

If that's the case (with not being able to drive) then go for something more along the lines of autoCAD/ Solid Works. My local college offers this exact degree but with the specialization I mentioned instead of electrical. If you get a good computer and the software you can work from home for many companies. Plus you can also bid on independent contracts from engineering/ architectural firms for extra work. Some colleges offer a degree in autoCAD and some only a certificate. Either way, that's probably the way to go.

[@RobRobertRobbie]

It ll be tough man. You have to find the right place, I'm sure you'll find it but you'll have to be proactive. Office job would be best doing Autocad or something similar or even sales with a wholesaler perhaps? Some engineering gigs require you to go on site
