The department of Electrical Technology Education was created out of the former Department of Technology Education during the first quarter of 2008. The Department of Technology Education was run as a Traditional Vocational Technical Education in four programmes (1) Agricultural Technology Education: (2) Construction Technology Education (3) Electrical/Electronics Technology Education and (4) Mechanical Technology Education. Based on an earlier approval by the Governing Council of the University for splitting the Department of Technology Education into separate Department with each of the four programmes standing as a Department, The Electrical/Electronics Technology programme was upgraded to a full fledged Department named Department of Electrical Technology Education. The department has two academic programmes; (1) Electrical Technology Education and (2) Electronics Technology Education. The Department of Electrical Technology Education at the Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola, exists to provide opportunities for the acquisition of high quality Electrical/Electronics Technology Education. Providing for instructional and technical training personnel needs of classroom and industry was central in the development of the programmes of Electrical Technology Education Department. Student achieve those through acquisition of appropriate knowledge, skills and work habits. The department enables individuals to have access to equal education and training opportunities to the fullest extent possible in Electrical and Electronics Technology Education.

The objectives of the Electrical and Electronics Technology Education Programmes of the department are: 1.
