With every passing day we become more dependent on the proper operation of electronic devices. We rely on electronics when using television, computers, and telephone. This ever-increasing dependence ensures a growing demand for qualified electronic technicians in fields as diverse as biomedicine and manufacturing.
Electronic technicians assist engineers in carrying every project to completion.
Technicians are also involved in a variety of activities in the areas of computer repair, telecommunications, fiber optics, electronic controls, industrial systems, robotics, and automation. Columbus State Community College offers a two-year Associate degree program in Electronic Engineering Technology. This six-quarter program is designed to prepare students to read and interpret complex instructions, engineering drawings, reports, technical literature, and to solve a variety of involved problems. They will also learn the language of electronics, which will allow them to communicate clearly not only with the engineers and scientists, but equally as well with the skilled trade workers around them. The college is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and courses are approved for Veterans' benefits.
