Program Full Description
Graduates may be employed as electronics technicians. The program at right is recommended; however, other courses may be substituted with the approval of the electronics faculty.
Advisor Notes
MAT 160 or higher level course will also satisfy the mathematics requirement.
Program Objectives
Program Objective | College-Wide Competency |
|---|---|
connect components into basic electrical circuits and use multimeters to verify circuit operation |
