Electronic Eng. Technology and EE

In summary, the speaker discusses their school's programs in Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) and Electrical Engineering (EE), noting that the EET program is ABET accredited while the EE program is not. They mention the option to complete the EET degree and then take additional credits for the EE degree. The speaker is concerned about the importance of ABET accreditation for the EE degree if they plan to take the PE exam in the future. They have heard conflicting opinions on the matter, but since the EET degree is ABET accredited, they assume it should be sufficient.

So at my school they have Electronic Engineering Technology & Electrical Engineering. However, the EET program is ABET accredited but the EE is not. They have the option of completing the EET degree then taking an additional 36 credits for the EE degree. So I'd have an ABET accredited degree in EET, so would it even matter if my EE degree wasn't ABET accredited if I wanted to end up taking the PE exam some day?

I don't want to shoot myself in the foot with the EE degree not being ABET accredited. I have had people tell me DO NOT consider a school that doesn't have an ABET accredited EE program, but I figured since the EET degree is ABET accredited it should be okay.
