College/School
Program Description
This program will prepare you by emphasizing basic knowledge and skills during the first year of the program. Studies include fundamental DC and AC circuit analysis and digital circuit logic to develop skills in use of electronic test equipment and in use of tools and printed circuit fabrication equipment. Laboratory experiments supplement classroom instruction and problem solving. Computer problem solving and simulation aid in course instruction. The second year of the associate degree program continues the study of fundamental electronic circuits. The areas of study include microcontroller circuitry and programming, electronic communication circuits and systems, and IC circuit fabrication on silicon wafers.
Program Advantages
The understanding of general processes gained through laboratory experiences prepares students to either continue their education or enter the workforce in the fields of microcontrollers, power systems, and microelectronics.
The AAS program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission(s) of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Electrical/Electronic(s) Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Program Criteria.
