Electronics Technology

Career Studies Certificate

 

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 leading toward 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 MTE 3 or an equivalent course before beginning the ETR course sequence. Students interested in proceeding beyond the career studies certificate should consult with an advisor or counselor prior to beginning the program.

 

Computer Competency: It is important that students demonstrate computer competency early in this program by either completing ITE 115 or passing the college's computer competency exam, administered in the testing centers on each campus. Students passing the computer competency exam will receive college credit for ITE 115. Students not passing the computer competency exam may retake the exam only once.

 

Students should allow time in their planned course sequencing for completion of prerequisite courses. Please see course descriptions for course co- and prerequisites.
