Printable PDF Version

Purpose: This program is designed to provide basic skill development and competence for students seeking a career in electronics or related technologies.

 

Occupational Objectives: Students completing this program will have basic skills for an entry-level job in electronics technology or a related field, such as industrial electronics, PC hardware upgrade and repair, or home entertainment/security systems.

 

Admission Requirements: General college curricular admission

 

Program Notes: In addition to general college curricular admission, applicants to this program will have (a) completed placement testing and (b) met with their advisor to establish a planned course of study prior to being allowed to register for courses. Proficiency in arithmetic is required to begin this program, and students not meeting this requirement must successfully complete MTH 2 or an equivalent course before beginning the ETR course sequence. MTH 3 (Algebra I) and MTH 4 (Algebra II), or equivalent, must be completed as co-requisites for other courses in the program. Students interested in proceeding beyond the career studies certificate should consult with an advisor or counselor beginning the program.

 

Recommended course sequencing, by semester, is shown by the numbers 1, 2, and 3 in parentheses after the course title in the curriculum listing below.  Students should allow time in their planned course sequencing for any developmental mathematics or English courses that may be required to meet program prerequisites or corequisites.
