Question by oifrma: Please compare the math needed for electrical engineering technology to electrical engineering?
I’m debating which I want to complete at this point, and wondering if there is a big difference between the math and science requirement? I’ve looked in the college catalog, and it’s hard to tell from the descriptions. Some look like the same math and science courses, some don’t. I thought I would ask?

Answer by Pisces ♥ Math
I’m not sure on the engineering technology, and it may depend on the type of engineering technology. I do know with electrical engineering, the four year degree, you will need Calculus 1-2-3, differential equations, geometry, linear algebra, and trigonometry. I’ve been told by some electrical engineering technology two year grads that they didn’t have to take calculus or differential equations, but they needed at least one course in trigonometry, geometry and algebra.

The first answer is correct. I wanted to add that you will also need statistics as related to engineering and business. For the electrical engineering technology requirements, I would suggest seeing if your desired college has a website and looking over the prerequisites. The program for electrical engineering technology requirements is going to vary somewhat depending on the school. For a straight EE degree, the program will basically be the same at all schools.
