Do you like Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology?

The ECET Program at USM is designed to provide students with a broad-based engineering technology education curriculum. The program implements the concept of engineering theory in the classroom and application of theory in the laboratory. In addition to fundamental concepts, students are immersed in applications of new technology. 

The ECET program is a combination of two programs: electronics engineering technology and computer engineering technology. Both programs are accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET.
