Electrical Engineering Technology

Electrical engineering technologists are concerned with electrical devices and systems and with the use of electrical energy. Electrical engineering technologists help create our microwave ovens, computers, and communications technology. Electrical engineering technology is a large field with many different concentrations. Many electrical engineering technologists participate in the development and testing of new communication devices as well as in supervising the manufacture of these devices. Others specialize in electronics and assist in the design, manufacture, and use of various circuits and electronic devices that produce, amplify, or detect electrical signals. Others focus on instrumentation—the use of electronic devices to make measurements such as pressure, temperature, speed, acceleration, voltage, and current. Still, others concentrate on the construction and operation of computer systems.

Information Systems Technology

Information Systems Technology is a heavily applied field geared primarily for students with an AS degree or a specific certificate (CNE, CCNA, MCSE, etc.) that wish to expand their knowledge of the field of information technology. Courses in IST are primarily hands-on and prepare the student for jobs running the hardware and software systems that handle information within an organization. Students are expected to fully understand and be able to design, implement, and manage distributed information systems. They are provided with the following specialization areas: databases, local and wide area networks, digital technology and computer organization, and software design and implementation. For more information about UCF’s information systems technology majors, please visit the Engineering Technology department web site. While you are there, check out IST related student clubs and organizations.

Information Technology

Information Technology prepares students in the basic science of computing and the methodologies, practices and tools for the design, implementation, and management of IT systems. Graduates are prepared to specify, manage, and implement an organization’s information technology requirements.
