What is the difference between Engineering Science and Electronic Engineering Technology?

I plan to attend a community college this fall and I want to major in Electrical/Computer Engineering, but I'm having trouble understanding the differences between these majors that my college offers (Bronx Community College).
I read the FAQ but I still have trouble understanding. If I take engineering science that means I can go on to a senior college and major in electrical or computer engineering, correct? EET also seems like it might be similar but it says it prepares you for the workforce once you get your associates?

Engineering science prepares you to transfer to a four year school for an engineering major bachelor's degree program with courses like calculus, multivariable calculus, differential equations, calculus-based physics sequence, etc.. Electronic engineering technology does not.
Follow the engineering science program if you want to transfer to a four year school for an engineering major bachelor's degree program.
Got it, thanks for the reply!
