Program Description

The electronics industry of today’s highly technological world needs technicians prepared for the dynamic field of microcomputer-based electronic equipment maintenance. The program provides a seven-quarter, comprehensive curriculum to prepare the student to meet this need.

State-of-the art concepts are taught, as well as practical laboratory techniques, which provide the circuit analysis skills necessary for electronic technicians. Also included are studies in communication skills, computational skills and human relations skills.
Flexibility is provided to the student who chooses to receive a certificate of completion in electronics. This certificate is offered after successful completion of four specific quarters of electronics study and related courses.

The associate in applied science degree option is most advantageous in securing employment in the electronics industry. To qualify for this degree, the student must successfully complete specific electronic courses, as well as student-selected advanced electronic options for a total of seven quarters of study. The degree candidate also must successfully complete specific related courses.

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

Prerequisite: scores in math (or alternative courses) must be met before admission into the program is granted. Written permission of the department chair or the technical division dean may supersede requirements.

To qualify for this degree, the student must successfully complete specific electronics courses, as well as student-selected advanced electronics options for a total of seven quarters of study.  The student must also successfully complete specific related courses.  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 of the previous criteria when extenuating circumstances arise.

Course of Study

Students may start the program only in the fall and winter quarters. Students starting this program winter quarter should meet with the department chair to discuss the order in which classes will be taken.
