Electronic Systems Engineering Technology

A&M-San Antonio offers* a B.S. degree program in Electronic Systems Engineering Technology (ESET) geared toward professional opportunities in manufacturing, avionics, medical electronics, energy industries, and infrastructure support for service industries. We provide instruction with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, and with a curriculum designed for hands-on learning. Our industry partners will involve students in projects at their facilities so that our graduates’ orientation toward the profession is shaped by both theory and practice.
*Subject to approval by SACS-COC

Careers in ESET
Engineering Technologists apply engineering and scientific knowledge combined with technical skills to support engineering activities. An engineering team consists of Engineering Scientists, Engineers, Engineering Technologists, and Engineering Technicians. Engineering Technologists’ areas of interest and education are application-oriented. They typically concentrate their activities on applied design, using current engineering practice. Engineering Technologists play key roles on the engineering team – in product development, manufacturing, product assurance, sales, and program management. Internships in industries, along with excellent written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills, is a proven way to secure a job for a new graduate.
