If you are the type of person who likes working with your hands, putting things together, and combining different systems to come up with a solution for a real life problem, then a career in Electronics Engineering could be the right choice for you.
Take a look around you. From the minute you wake up you are surrounded by electronics.
- You turn off your electronic alarm clock and flip on the light.
- You brush your teeth with your electronic toothbrush.
- You watch the news on your TV while your electronic coffee maker is brewing.
- You grab your cell phone, PDA, iPOD, iPhone, and laptop and remotely open your garage door.
- You wirelessly switch on your security system and drive your microprocessor-controlled vehicle.
- You swipe your ID badge to gain access to your work and check your email.
- And when you relax? You watch movies on your DVD player.
The list goes on. And a skilled workforce in the electronics field has been and will continue to be in demand ... in maintenance and repair, installation, quality assurance, and research and development.
In less than 3 years, you can earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology with a concentration in Electronics Engineering.
An Associate Degree program is also available which prepares the graduate for entry-level employment in the Electronics Engineering field.
Our Electronics Engineering program focuses on real-world application of engineering principles. Engineering technologists are usually the link between the engineers and the technicians. They work with engineers from the conception phase of a product to the final production. They assist in the design, development, testing, and production of electrical/electronic equipment and components.
The curriculum provides graduates with the education and experience needed for employment in a variety of industries in the private and public sector including:
