Electronics Engineering

If you are interested in the Internet of Things, Lasers, Computer Systems, Biomedical Equipment, or other electronics. If you enjoy tinkering with electronics and problem solving. If you are curious about how things work, the Electronics Engineering Technician degree is a perfect fit for you.

In this program you will learn to build, evaluate, test, troubleshoot, service, and repair electronic devices and equipment. No prior experience is required. Learn about electronics from the component level to the system level.

As part of your training you will work in the laboratory on experiments and projects using electronic breadboards, optical breadboards, 3D-PCB printing, soldering, and single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi® and Arduino®. You will gain hands on experience with electronic test equipment like multi-meters and oscilloscopes.

The program offers four pathways: Applications, Avionics, Mechatronics (all three degree paths can be explored further by clicking the links in the right column, or below if on a mobile device) and Biomedical Equipment. Depending on which option you choose this degree will prepare you for excellent career opportunities as an Electronics Engineering Technician in product development, manufacturing, lasers and photonics, automated factories, service and repair, or hospitals.

  1. State the characteristics of electronic components and circuits.
  2. Calculate circuit parameters.
  3. Demonstrate proper safety procedures.
  4. Construct electronic parameters.
  5. Use electronic test equipment to evaluate and troubleshoot electronic circuits.
  6. Explain career related regulatory requirements.
