In years past many companies did not really understand the difference and many EETs were given engineering jobs. That has changed and the EET is less desirable than an EE to most employers. Even if you get an engineering job you will have far less mobility than a degreed engineer. If you can switch to an engineering track in school, do so. You will have many more opportunities during your career if you do.<br><b>References : </b><br> An EET is a very well trained technician.

I used to tell people the same thing when I taught engineering technology, but it's not true. If you think you can do the work, switch to real electrical engineering. It costs the same and takes the same amount of time, but you learn more--far, far more. It wasn't supposed to work this way, but engineering technology turned into a program for people who couldn't do real engineering work. It's not the same, and it's not viewed the same. Really.<br><b>References : </b><br> You heard this from the engineering technology people, not the companies.

It wasn’t supposed to work this way, but engineering technology turned into a program for people who couldn’t do real engineering work. It’s not the same, and it’s not viewed the same. Really.
