Electronics Technology 

Associate in Applied Science Degree
Curriculum code:ELTR.AAS.C38

The Electronics Technology curriculum involves training of a broad theoretical and practical nature to prepare students for employment in the fields of design, development, fabrication, and servicing of electronics and electrical equipment including microprocessors and robotics. Students will be required to purchase a minimum set of components in some courses. Electronics Technology graduates are generally prepared to enter electronics technology programs at selected colleges and universities with junior status.
