The Electronics Engineering Technology program prepares students for careers in the fast-growing electronics field. Graduates have many career paths open to them. Some electronics engineering technicians assist research and development engineers in designing new products. Some electronics engineering technicians test completed electronic systems before the customer uses the system. Other electronics engineering technicians sell electronic components and systems.
Some graduates opt to continue their education by transferring to a four-year college or university.
Most electronics engineering technicians troubleshoot and repair electronic systems. These systems include computers, complex communications systems, biomedical equipment, optoelectronics, and industrial control systems. Students in the Electronics Engineering Technology program develop skills in electronic circuit analysis and troubleshooting. Laboratory work complements the theory taught in lecture. Students entering this program should have a good background in high school mathematics.
