An Overview of the Electronics Engineering Technology Program
The Associate of Science degree in Electronics Engineering Technology prepares graduates to design, test, troubleshoot and repair the technical components of computers, electronics, and telecommunications, using blueprints, wiring diagrams, schematics or engineering directions.
Computers today are among the most important and widely used electronic equipment. When you think of computers most people think about desktops, servers, laptops, and other peripheral devices such as printers and scanners. However, computer electronic technology is an integral component of almost all electronic equipment used today. Airplanes are designed to virtually fly themselves thanks to the use of sophisticated electronic/computer technology. Wireless communication would not be possible if not for basic elements of electronics. Computer-controlled medical equipment is critical in the health care industry.
The application of electronics engineering technology is extensive: computer-controlled kitchens, intelligent smoke alarms, and electronic delivery boxes could be the norm in every home within the next ten years. Technology to link domestic appliances, including refrigerators, microwaves, and washing machines, is set to become commonplace. Any way you look at it, an education in electronics is the key to opening many doors for rewarding and exciting careers.
