Program Overview
This Level 2 Electronics Technology certificate program provides a comprehensive foundation in electronics fundamentals, allowing students to specialize in areas such as communications, industrial electronics, or microcontrollers. It includes required courses in DC, AC, and digital electronics, along with a selection of electives from a wide range of electronics topics. The program prepares students for advanced electronics certificates and degrees, as well as careers in the electronics industry.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
This program covers the fundamentals of Electronics Technology plus additional coursework in other areas of specialty. It is composed of the same coursework from the Electronics Technology - Level 1 certificate plus additional electives chosen from other electronics courses within the Electronics Department. This certificate allows students the flexibility to combine Electronics courses to meet individual goals in a specialty of their choosing. This Level 2 certificate will prepare students with the requisite knowledge for subsequent Electronics certificates and degrees.
Program Learning Outcomes:
- Students will demonstrate proper use of electronic test equipment and associate measurement results with circuit behaviors in the laboratory.
- Students will be able to demonstrate a connection between higher level coursework and that of the fundamental coursework in AC, DC and digital electronics.
- Students will communicate, both verbally and in writing, knowledge of electrical concepts and their application to the observed behaviors of circuits and systems.
- Students will apply knowledge of electronic principles to the areas of communications, industrial electronics, or microcontrollers.
