Be a part of bridging the gap between software and hardware design by expanding your knowledge and applying new ideas in practical design through hands-on education at Oregon Tech
What You'll Learn
The goal of the Embedded Systems Engineering Technology (ESET) program is to prepare you with the skills demanded by real-world industries. Key to this process is hands-on experience with Embedded Systems platforms.
The ESET program at Oregon Tech will prepare you to enter firmware development on these highly robust, mission critical platforms.
The program is a blend of small class sizes and hands-on labs and projects, bringing the devices of interest directly into the hands of students. This is an applied program, where the learning is in the doing.
Students work directly with concepts and technologies such as:
- Systems on a Chip
- Embedded Networking
- Real Time Operating Systems
- Embedded Testing
- Embedded Security
Accreditation
The Bachelor of Science in Embedded Systems Engineering Technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria.
Program Educational Objectives (PEO):
PEO1: Use their knowledge of engineering to creatively and innovatively solve difficult computer systems problems.
PEO2: Regularly engage in exploring, learning, and applying state-of-the-art hardware and software technologies to the solution of computer systems problems.
PEO3: Will be an effective team member that contribute to innovative software design solutions to the resolution of real-world problems.
PEO4: Will communicate effectively both as an individual and within multi-disciplinary teams.
Student Outcomes (SO):
SO1: an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
SO2: an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
SO3: an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
SO4: an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments, and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
SO5: an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
CSET Common First Year
Careers
The ESET program at Oregon Tech prepares students to enter software development on highly robust, mission critical platforms. Engineers with this knowledge are in high demand, and the demand curve is growing exponentially. This program prepares students for productive careers in industry and government.
Graduates of the ESET program enjoy immediate employment in a technically hungry industry. Individuals obtaining a degree in ESET end up working in demanding positions where programming precision and accountability are top priority.
Recent demand has seen industry recruiters ask for ESET graduates specifically. This is a growth industry. Demand for ESET skills will only increase.
Cooperative Field Experience
The Multiple Engineering Cooperative Program (MECOP) includes work experience during the junior and senior years. The co-op period is an employment arrangement with an employer in the area of the student's major field with normal salary and academic credit. These arrangements are made on an individual basis and the student is under no obligation to accept permanent employment with any previous co-op employer.
Two Campus Sites Gives You Options
We listen to our students, who have communicated a need for maximum flexibility. Some are working full- or part-time, are place-bound and need an on-campus experience close to home; and some prefer a traditional residential campus with all of the amenities that come with it. That’s why we offer two location options: Klamath Falls Residential Campus (southern Oregon), and Portland-Metro Campus (in Wilsonville).
Courses
The Oregon Tech ESET curriculum gives critical knowledge in an area of software engineering which exists directly on the hardware, providing low level operation and hardware abstraction to higher level software constructs.
This program provides an excellent education; incorporating industry-relevant, applied laboratory-based instruction in both the theory and application of embedded systems engineering. Our focus is educating students to meet the growing workforce demand in Oregon and elsewhere for graduates prepared in both hardware and software aspects of embedded systems.
