Electronics Engineering Technology Program Graduates are prepared for employment as electronics engineering technicians or to transfer into B.S. programs in Electronics Engineering Technology at a university. Students gain knowledge and skills in analog circuits, digital circuits, semiconductors, linear integrated circuits, troubleshooting, RF communications, control systems, and microprocessors. The course content of this Specialized Associates Degree is mostly technical, with fewer general education requirements than the A.A.S. degree. This degree focuses on the hardware and software of computers, including electronic circuits, computer architecture, networking, interfacing, and programming. It bridges the gap between the mostly software content of Computer Science, and traditional Engineering and Engineering Technology programs that emphasize hardware.
Graduates can get jobs in networking, web page design, and computer repair.
They may also pursue B.S. Degrees at various universities. By carefully choosing their course options, students can transfer into four year computer-related programs such as Computer Engineering Technology or Computer Science. Because this is an A.A.S. degree and requires all of the general education courses, it will also transfer into many B.S. degree programs that are not directly related to computers. This program can be completed in 16 months by following the Fast Track schedule of six summer terms and two semesters. Students learn electronics and computer theory, then test, verify, and apply it using the latest instrumentation and equipment.
