Electronic and Computer Technology

The Electronics and Computer Technology Program is designed to provide a combination of class/lecture, shop and lab courses in practical applications and job experience training. The “ hands-on” shop instruction involves actual repair of customer work and student projects. This may include trouble shooting and repair of office equipment, audio/video systems, computer devices and home consumer electronics. Class and lab instruction will include lectures, tests, workbook material, as well as operationon of lab test equipment.

Much of our lab training is circuit-based to component level. Incorporated into the circuit board training are related areas of math and physics. We use these applications as tools rather than subjects to be taught from a textbook. They are introduced in the classroom lecture in simple form, and used in the lab training to support the electronics fundamentals. This method provides a well-rounded curriculum of necessary theories, practical applications and job procedures.

The student will have the opportunity to gain a broad knowledge of various types of electronics circuitry and equipment. This enables each graduate the flexibility in choosing the area they may specialize in upon their initial job placement. With a variety of actual job situations learned in the training program, the technician is better qualified to seek employment in numerous areas of the electronics and computer profession.

Second year students will complete Cisco Networking Academy, study computer networking, wireless technology, install, troubleshoot, and maintain computer equipment and install and program programmable logic controllers.

Licensing:

First year students will prepare to take the A+ Certification testing if they so desire. Second year students will complete the CISCO Networking Academy classes and prepare to take the Cisco Academy Network Associate (CCNA) test to become CCNA certified.
