ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN APPLIED SCIENCE
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY - COMPUTER ELECTRONICS
74 SEMESTER HOURS
Electronics engineering technicians help design,
develop, test, and manufacture electrical and
electronic equipment such as radios, radar, sonar,
television, industrial and medical measuring or
control devices, navigational equipment, and
computers. They may work in product evaluation
and testing, using measuring and diagnostic devices to adjust, test, and repair equipment. Electronics Engineering Technology is also applied to
a wide variety of systems, such as communications and process controls.
The specialization in Computer Electronics prepares technicians to install, program, operate,
maintain, service, and diagnose computers with
operational problems arising from mechanical or
electrical malfunctions in either individual units or
systems.
Electronics engineers primarily use the principles
and theories of science, engineering, and mathematics to solve technical problems; therefore,
prospective engineering technicians should take
as many high school science and math courses as
possible to prepare for this postsecondary associate degree program. Laboratory work complements the theory taught in classroom lectures in
this program. Most students complete the program in four semesters and one summer session.
Good communication skills and the ability to
work well with others are also important since engineering technicians are often part of a team of
engineers and other technicians.

*Recommended choices for students who expect to continue their education at a fouryear institution. Entry requirements for these
courses are more stringent than for some
other options. Students should consult with
their advisors in regard to prerequisites prior
to enrolling in these courses.
Students who choose to take ENG 101 and
ENG 102 must also take ENG 165 or SPC 205.
Employment opportunities for electronics engineering technicians are expected to continue to
grow. Increasing demand for more sophisticated electrical and electronic products, as well as the
expansion of these products and systems into all areas of industry and manufacturing processes,
will be instrumental to the strong growth in this specialty area.
The mission of the Electronics Engineering Technology Department is to provide the student with
a quality well-rounded education. This, in turn, will enhance the student’s economic and social
well-being and provide industry with a highly skilled work force.
