The Electronic Engineering Technology certificate will provide the student basic knowledge of electrical/electronic theory which can assist in obtaining a credential documenting partial completion in coursework towards an associate degree. The certificate program supports an associate degree that will transfer via 2 + 2 to bachelor degree programs at The University of Akron, Cleveland State University, and others.
Degree: Students may apply credits towards the Associate of Applied Science degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology.

MATH-1140, MATH-1141, MATH-1200, MATH-1270, and MATH-1280 can no longer count towards fulfilling the college-level mathematics requirement. These courses were re-classified as developmental mathematics by the state of Ohio in 2016. Tri-C established a 5-year transitioning window for students who had completed these courses prior to 2016 to apply them towards meeting graduation requirements, which expired in Summer 2021. It is highly recommended to see a counselor to determine the appropriate math required for your current major.
