Associate of Applied Science General Engineering Technology – Electronics Technology
Degree: Associate of Applied Science
Major: General Engineering Technology
Specialization: Electronics Technology
Purpose:
The General Engineering Technology Program is designed to prepare individuals to meet the growing needs of high technology industries for trained technicians. Courses in the Electronics specialization are designed to develop competent engineering technicians who, upon graduation, will have the academic and technical preparation in the electronics field to enter the demanding workforce environment, to pursue additional on-the-job training, or to enter an advanced program of study in Electronics Technology.
Occupational Objectives:
Electronics Technician, Electronics Laboratory Technician, Engineering Aide, Sales Engineer, Computer Technician, Industrial Engineering Technician, Industrial Electronics Technician, and Design Engineering Technician.
Students may participate in a co-op experience to replace ETR 198 and/or ETR 298. Students must follow the advice of their program head and the co-op coordinator to ensure appropriate order of courses.
Admission Requirements:
In addition to the admission requirements established for the college, entry into this program requires proficiency in English, reading, and mathematics. Students who do not meet entry requirements, or whose placement test scores indicate a need for further preparation, will be placed in the appropriate developmental courses in English, mathematics, and/or reading. These developmental course credits do not apply toward the degree. Students required to take two or more developmental courses will need additional semesters to complete the degree.
Graduation Requirements:
The General Engineering Technology Degree, Electronics Specialization, follows general graduation requirements as stated in the catalog. Co-op students should consult with the co-op coordinator for requirements specific to their co-op program.
Program Outcomes:
Graduates of the General Engineering Technology program should have the ability to:
1. Engage in learning contemporary engineering issues:
2. Understand the fundamental scientific principles associated with engineering, including the knowledge of their limitations, and their applications to particular problems;
3. Apply the experimental method in observing phenomena and seeking explanations so as to devise effective experiments and interpret results correctly:
4. Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs; and
5. Communicate effectively the impact of an engineering solution in a societal context.
