If you are the type of person who likes working with your hands, putting things together, and combining different systems to come up with a solution for a real life problem, then a career in Electronics Engineering could be the right choice for you.
Take a look around you. From the minute you wake up you are surrounded by electronics.
- You turn off your electronic alarm clock and flip on the light.
- You brush your teeth with your electronic toothbrush.
- You watch the news on your TV while your electronic coffee maker is brewing.
- You grab your cell phone, PDA, iPOD, iPhone, and laptop and remotely open your garage door.
- You wirelessly switch on your security system and drive your microprocessor-controlled vehicle.
- You swipe your ID badge to gain access to your work and check your email.
- And when you relax? You watch movies on your DVD player.
The list goes on. And a skilled workforce in the electronics field has been and will continue to be in demand ... in maintenance and repair, installation, quality assurance, and research and development.
An Associate Degree program is also available which prepares the graduate for entry-level employment in the Electronics Engineering field.
Our Electronics Engineering program focuses on real-world application of engineering principles. Engineering technologists are usually the link between the engineers and the technicians. They work with engineers from the conception phase of a product to the final production. They assist in the design, development, testing, and production of electrical/electronic equipment and components.
The curriculum provides graduates with the education and experience needed for employment in a variety of industries in the private and public sector including:
