S.A.  in Electronics Engineering Technology (56)
Graduates are prepared for employment as Electronics Engineering Technicians or to transfer into B.S. programs in Electronics Engineering Technology at another university. Students gain knowledge and skills in analog circuits, digital circuits, semiconductors, linear integrated circuits, troubleshooting, RF communications, control systems, and microprocessors.

The Electronics Engineering Technology program at Brigham Young University-Idaho has been continuously accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET) since 1970.

S.A.  in Computer Systems Technology (162)
This degree focuses on the hardware and software of computers, including electronic circuits, computer architecture, networking, interfacing, and programming. It bridges the gap between the mostly-software content of Computer Science or traditional Engineering and Engineering Technology programs that emphasize hardware. Graduates may get jobs configuring, troubleshooting, and repairing computers and networks. They may also pursue B.S. degrees at another university.

The Specialized Associate Degree in Computer Systems Technology is a new program that will apply for TAC/ABET accreditation when Electronics Engineering Technology renews its accreditation.

B.S.  in Computer Engineering (450)

This curriculum focuses on preparing students to enter industry as computer engineers. Although scientific and engineering theory is an important element of the program, emphasis is also placed on practical skills that working engineers must possess. To achieve this, laboratory experiences are included in most courses. This differs from "grad-school prep" engineering programs that usually offer few upper-division, hands-on laboratory experiences, and concentrate on mathematical and scientific theory. Students will, however, have the necessary foundation to pursue graduate degrees if they desire.

ABET accreditation must wait until the first graduating class.
