The two year program leads to the Associate in Applied Science Degree with graduates either entering the workforce as Electronic Technicians or continuing on for additional study for the BS degree in Engineering Technology at institutions like Rochester Institute of Technology or the SUNY Utica-Rome Technology campus. The program begins with DC and AC Circuit Analysis and leads through a study of Electronics, Digital and Microprocessor Circuitry, and Industrial Power and Control Systems. Students learn in modern well equipped classrooms and laboratories that feature state of the art equipment from Tektronix, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Allen Bradley and other manufacturers.
Students utilize extensive computer programming in modern computing areas.
Graduates are well able to express themselves as experts in both oral and written technical reporting of projects undertaken. The experienced faculty manages a program that is nationally recognized for its excellence. There is an active student branch of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the IEEE for short. Students learn of topics from outside the classroom through guest lectures by local industries and computing organizations. There is an annual expedition to an Electronic or Computing show, convention, or museum along with field trips to power plants or manufacturing facilities.
