Electronics Engineering Technology
70 Week Day and 80 Week Evening Program Occupational Disclosures
Associate in Applied Science Degree
102 Quarter Credit Hours
Program Objectives: The Electronic Engineering Technology program has two tracks, one with Electronic Circuit emphasis and the other with Visual Programming emphasis. The core program, common to both tracks, provides the successful student with skills in basic electronics, component usage, modern lab documentation techniques, and the analysis of analog circuits, digital circuits and microcontroller systems. In the final two academic quarters, The Electronics Track focuses on Solid State Device operation and the study of Digital Communication Systems. The Programming Track offers 12 credit Hours of programming within a visual environment, such as .NET, or another contemporary tool, based on current industry trends.
Career Opportunities: Successful Graduates will qualify for a variety of positions in Electronics Engineering Technology. Career fields to include: Electronics Laboratory technician; Electronics Build, Test and Analysis; Electronic System Installation and Maintenance, Manufacturing Equipment Installation/Maintenance; Technical Sales/Support.
Entrance Requirements: To insure the success of the applicant, entrance requirements will be strictly enforced. See admissions Policies on pages 17-24 of the TBI academic catalog.
Training Equipment: Students will use the following equipment: computer systems, network hubs, printers, basic computer peripherals, standard hand tools, soldering irons and test equipment, including the Volt ohm Meter, Digital VoltMeter, power supply, oscilloscopes and signal generators.
Class Size: Class sizes range from 10 to 15 students.
