Program Description

From smart phones to autonomous cars, electronic technology is an integral and constantly changing part of our world. An Electronics Engineering Technician degree provides the foundation necessary to pursue a career in this exciting field.

This lab intensive program provides practical, hands-on experience with a variety of equipment used in the industry. Classes are designed to develop the skills necessary to help engineers develop new electronic products and to evaluate, test, troubleshoot, and repair existing products. Graduates find employment with a wide variety of companies including electronic equipment manufacturers, medical equipment manufacturers, service companies, and hospitals.

To qualify for an associate in applied science degree, students must successfully complete seven quarters of study. The first five quarters are common to all the electronics programs. Students then choose to specialize in Avionics, Applications, or Mechatronics.

Successful completion will be determined by meeting the following criteria: Note: upon review, the department chairperson and/or Technical Education Dean may waive any or all the previous criteria when extenuating circumstances arise.

Night classes, which cover material from the first and second quarters of the program are available. Students must successfully complete ELECT 115, 116, 117, 125, 126, 127, 105, 106, 107. Upon completion of these night classes, students may enter the third quarter of the daytime program.
