The Electronic Technology program is largely laboratory oriented to provide the graduate with the skills and theory needed to repair electronic equipment in the service, remanufacture, repair, and refurbishment industries. Students in this program study the fundamentals of digital, analog, and microprocessor electronics as they relate to the theory of the operation of electronic systems. Emphasis is placed on the use of test equipment and schematic diagrams in laboratory observations. Electronic Technology students are also trained in the proper use of small hand tools and hand-soldering techniques required for assembly and rework of modern electronic equipment. Graduates can find a variety of employment opportunities as technicians in fields such as consumer electronics, aviation electronics, biomedical electronics and computer service.
