Electronics & Advanced Technologies

The following courses allow students to acquire a broad array of knowledge and hands-on skills in Electronics, Automation, Semiconductor, Robotic, Power Utility, Networking, Telecommunications, Instrumentation and other related areas. The courses vary from introductory to advanced. For example, courses such as DC/AC circuits, Digital Fundamentals, Semiconductor Devices, and Microprocessors teach students about basic electronics whereas courses such as Electromechanical Systems and Data Acquisition train students on such areas as PLC programming and connection to industrial devices, as well as how to configure and write programs using LabView. There are also advanced courses in robotics, automation, and instrumentation available. Other areas include networking, telephone systems, and power courses. These courses serve to train people interested in industries such as the semiconductor, power utility, automotive, telecommunications, general manufacturing, research, biotechnology instrumentation, and many other industries. The broadness of these course offerings has something for everyone. Students may simply be interested in these areas or are a current technician, technologist, engineer, or scientist at a company and looking for enhancing knowledge and skills sets. Classes are small, are offered at different times and days throughout the week to meet your needs and teachers are very knowledgeable and friendly. And best of all, if students ever want to go ahead and pursue your Associate of Applied Science in one these areas, they can transfer these course credits toward the degree.
