The Associate of Science in Electronics Technology (ASET) is designed to provide foundational skills for this exciting career field as well as a solid undergraduate education. The ASET degree program also comprises the first two years of either the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCE) degree programs.
What skills can I learn?
Students who successfully complete the ASET degree program should gain an understanding of the following areas:
- Analysis of DC and AC circuits and electronics, including significant laboratory-based experience in each of these areas
- Analysis and design of digital hardware, as well as computer architecture
- Problem-solving and trouble-shooting techniques
- Design of integrated-circuit (IC) based digital electronics
- Use of modern, computer-based simulation tools
- Advanced laboratory instrumentation
- Communication skills essential to the workplace
What are some possible career opportunities? Today, a good number of companies are involved in the entire spectrum of product and system analysis, testing and support. On the commercial side, some companies employ technicians and interns with at least an associate's degree to manufacture, analyze and test integrated circuit products (\"chips\"). Other companies may employ technicians or technologists for product support, with a heavy customer focus.
Additional education and/or experience may be needed for some positions.
As an Air-conditioning, Refrigeration, and Heating Technician, you will learn to install, maintain and repair essential temperature control equipment found in today's homes and businesses. Whatever the climate, wherever the place, there is a need for proficient HVAC technicians and service professionals. *Associate Degree types and availability vary by school and state.

Bachelor's Degrees
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCE) degree program is designed to prepare graduates to enter one of the newest and most exciting engineering fields. Computer engineers are not only involved in the design of the computer hardware essential to today's world, they may be called on to develop software, program microprocessors, or design wired or wireless networks. The BSCE program at Colorado Technical University is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
The Associate of Arts in Business Administration is designed to prepare students for careers in the real world. Coursework has a concentration on career-focused knowledge and skills in business, critical thinking and communications. The curriculum also features an introduction to the global business environment.
Masters Degrees
The Master of Science in Computer Engineering (MSCE) program emphasizes effective optimization of computer systems within organizations to strengthen competitive advantage. The program covers research, design, development and testing of computer hardware and software, along with the project management and leadership skills training necessary for increased responsibility in the engineering career field. What skills can I learn?
Students who successfully complete the Master of Science in Computer Engineering should be able to:
- Design computer architectures.
- Use techniques for life-cycle design of software systems.
- Use modern information system security techniques.
- Design advanced CMOS circuitry.
- Effectively use project management techniques.
What are some possible career opportunities? Although most companies hire entry-level computer engineers at the Bachelor's degree level, an increasing number of firms are looking for a more in-depth understanding and design ability in advanced systems, especially in the areas of digital signal processing, computer architecture and software design. The defense industry, in particular, needs project managers, systems engineers, and senior CEs to help design the next generation of C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) systems. If you are already working for a commercial or DOD contractor firm as an engineer, the MSCE is the perfect way to advance within your company because it integrates the additional software design and security skills training you may need to increase your value to the company.
Built-in Professional Certificates
The Master of Science in Computer Engineering includes the following built-in Professional Certificate:
These Professional Certificates can be earned without additional courses.
The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) degree program is designed to provide industry-current knowledge in modern systems design as it is applied to emerging and evolving electrical engineering technologies. In particular, the program emphasizes in-depth study of digital communications, CMOS technology and computer architecture. At the same time, MSEE students can acquire the valuable skills in project management and leadership necessary for increased responsibility in the engineering career field.
The Master of Science in Systems Engineering is designed to help you learn these essential skills, which otherwise could take years of experience on the job to obtain. This program has been designed by industry experts to meet industry needs for systems engineering (SE) skills.
