Electronics Technology

From smartphones to autonomous vehicles, Electronics Technology is at the heart of today’s most exciting innovations and it’s constantly evolving. Earning a degree in Electronics Technology gives you the foundation to launch a career in this dynamic and fast-growing field.

An electronics technician is a tech-savvy problem solver who works behind the scenes to ensure electronic devices and systems function reliably. No prior experience with electronics is required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn.

This field offers diverse career opportunities across industries from global leaders like Boeing and Micron to innovative local companies right here in our community. Electronics technicians are in demand in areas such as:

  • Advanced manufacturing
  • Engineering and innovation
  • Broadcasting and communications
  • Aviation and aerospace
  • Lasers and photonics

Technicians often install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair electronic systems. You’ll learn how to solve real-world challenges independently, or as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Electronics Technology is about more than wires and circuits—it’s about making a real impact. Whether you're exploring a new career path or just starting out, this program is designed to support learners from all backgrounds. You’ll gain confidence through hands-on experience, mentorship, and teamwork. And yes, you can, whatever your goal is, we’ll help you get there.

Matt McGill, SCC Alum, testing biomedical equipment

"During my time in the Biomedical Equipment Technician program at Spokane Community College, I gained valuable knowledge and hands-on experience that helped prepare me for a career in the healthcare technology field. I enjoyed most of the classes, particularly those that focused on electronics, anatomy, and medical instrumentation. The instructors were very knowledgeable, supportive, and clearly invested in our success. I believe that you get out what you put in. Show up, attend class, ask questions, and be present. Overall, the program laid a strong foundation for my future as a BMET. I am pleased and also a little bummed that the Biomed program is changing into more Biomedical focus and that I won’t get to see it." – Matt McGill, military veteran, and SCC Alum.
