What is Electronics Technology?

Electronics Technology is an instructional program that prepares individuals to support electrical engineers and other professionals in the design, development, and testing of electrical circuits, devices, and systems for generating electricity and distributing electrical power.  Included is instruction in model and prototype development and testing; systems analysis and integration, including design, development of corrective and preventive maintenance techniques; application of engineering data; and the preparation of reports and test results.

Technical programs in Electronics Technology require a minimum of 64 semester
credit hours (SCH) beyond the essential skills level.  Fifteen semester credit hours
of academic core courses are included in this minimum. Successful completion of
the two-year program leads to an Associate in Applied Science degree.

  Electronic Technicians find work in many fields & areas such as ……

·        Manufacture of electronic equipment:  Companies such as Peavey Electronics & Raytheon produce electronic equipment that must be tested and/or repaired!

·        Maintenance & repair of manufacturing equipment: Business & Industries must keep their production equipment operating!

·        Maintenance & repair of health care equipment:  Electronic equipment used in hospitals & clinics must be serviced & repaired!

·        Maintenance & repair of electronic equipment: All businesses have electronic equipment such as copy machines, computers, cash registers, etc., that must be serviced & repaired!
