Electronics Technology

The Electronics program focuses on circuitry and practical application to designing, creating, and repairing things we use in our everyday lives. Students studying electronics are instructed in common electronic equipment; soldering; parts identification and schematic symbols; Ohm’s law and very basic direct current (DC) circuits; project assembly; and introduction to computers and software. As students advance, they learn series and parallel circuits; direct current (DC), and alternating current (AC) circuits; magnetism and electromagnetism; capacitors, and inductors and transformers. Robotics and mechanisms are embedded into the curriculum to meet the changing needs of automated electronics manufacturers in the area.
