Current Degree Type: Recommended Degree Type: D. ADDITION OF REQUIRED COURSE(S) Recommended Course Requirement: EET 270, Photovoltaic (PV) Systems The AAS Engineering Technology programs must periodically revamp their curriculum to stay current with emerging technologies and skill sets. This course, Photovoltaic (PV) Systems, will replace the Fiber Optics Communication course (EET 265) in the Electronics Electromechanical Engineering Technology (EEET) program. The course also adds a Green Technology/Sustainability technical elective to all engineering technology programs. E. DELETION OF REQUIRED COURSE(S) Recommended Course Deletion: EET 265 Introduction to Fiber Optic Communications The core content and skill set of EET 265 is no longer in great demand among employers. The course is be replaced by one which betters serves the need of the employers and EET students. F. ELECTIVE(S) Current Elective(s): Recommended Elective(s): G.
