2001-2002 Catalog

Engineering and Architecture
Electronics Engineering Technology (2274)

Associate in Science or Associate in Applied Science

The electronics engineering technology program is designed to prepare students for electronics related entry-level positions. These technically trained individuals are prepared to assist engineers or scientists or take positions as engineering technicians, technical managers or technical sales representatives. Some examples of industries offering employment opportunities are: computer and office equipment, biomedical equipment, telecommunications equipment and industrial control equipment.

NOTE: Students have two degree alternatives in this program: The associate in science (A.S.) and the associate in applied science (A.A.S.). If you intend to pursue further education at the university level, you should enroll in the A.S. option. The A.S. guarantees your admission with junior standing into one of the state’s public universities. If you intend to go directly to work after completing your associate’s degree, consider the A.A.S. While the A.A.S. will not provide you with the articulation benefits of the A.S., the A.A.S. will provide you with the skills required to begin working in the field immediately upon graduation. If you are unsure of which option is best for you, please see an advisor for further counseling.

The majority of the classes are on Kent Campus
