Go to Post It is not necessary to draw 200 amps to move a robot through a two minute match. Rule of thumb is you robot should be able to compete for three matches without a battery change. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]

Engineering technolgy is geared more towards fabrication, assemlbling systems, and testing assemblies.

Electrical engineering is geared towards designing systems - designing end products.

For example, I spend a lot of time designing circuit boards at Xerox - if you take the back cover off a Xerox machine you will see boards in there that I designed (and you will void your warrenty :c)

when those boards are fabricated and assembled in a factory (not ours) they are tested as bare boards, and tested after they are assembled. A person with an engineering technology degree would be the one to design or assembly the componets of those test fixtures, and figure out how to test the board as fully as possible before it is assembled into a machine - its a field of science all unto itself.

An electrical technician (a 2 year degree) would be the person who wires up systems, or debugs parts of it when its not working correctly, or who debugs boards that fail the automated tests.
