Engineering Technology – Electronics

Program Goals & Outcomes

The Associate of Applied Science degree program provides students with the technical skills and knowledge that apply to electronic systems, mechanical systems, and components. The electronics option is designed to prepare students to enter the job market as an electronics engineering technician.

Electronics technicians are detail-oriented and capable of following highly complex instructions. Electronics technicians should possess skills in troubleshooting problems and devising effective solutions. The ability to communicate effectively both in written and oral interactions is important in this career. Electronics technicians install and repair electronic equipment, while electronics engineering technicians assist in designing, building, and testing it. An associate degree is often required to begin a career as an electronics engineering technician.

The goal of the program is for students to master the subject matter based on traditional classroom instruction and laboratory exercises. The expected program outcome is to provide a comprehensive education for students to enter the workforce.

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

• Apply technical skills and/or engineering theory to support product development, design, or manufacturing;
• Analyze and solve technology-related problems in electronic or mechanical systems;
• Conduct quality tests and measurements; and
• Communicate using terminology appropriate for engineering technology fields.
