This program provides the basic principles of electronic theory and the associated lab skills needed for successful work in electronics. The first year curriculum provides training in the fundamentals of electrical, digital, and semiconductor theory. The second year builds upon these fundamentals in electromechanical technology, with instrumentation electronics, programmable logic controls, and robotics. Digital theory is expanded with three terms of microprocessor applications. Classes in linear circuits, op amp theory and communication theory help give the students a well-rounded electronics background.
Students integrate theory and practice while working in a community business or organization.
Students earn college credits and grades for work related to their educational and career goals. Through co-op, a student can develop skills, expand career knowledge, and make contacts for future employment. Contact the co-op coordinator to enroll. Facilities Students use lab stations that are equipped with an oscilloscope, power supply, analog meters, digital meters, wave form generators and other electronic equipment. Students use computers to control, analyze and troubleshoot electronic circuits.
