A broad-based core of courses ensures you will develop the skills necessary to perform entry-level tasks. Emphasis is placed on developing your ability to think critically, analyze, and troubleshoot electronic systems.
Electronics engineering technologists typically design, build, install, test, troubleshoot, repair, and modify developmental and production electronic components, equipment, and systems such as industrial/computer controls, manufacturing systems, instrumentation systems, communication systems, and power electronic systems.
The Central Piedmont Associate in Applied Science degree in Electronics Engineering Technology has been specifically designed to prepare individuals to become technologists or advanced technicians in the workforce.
What you will learn
The electronics engineering technology degree program focuses on the knowledge and skills associated with the installation, maintenance, integration, and troubleshooting of instrumentation and control systems.
A broad-based core of courses ensures you will develop the skills necessary to perform entry-level tasks. Emphasis is placed on developing your ability to think critically, analyze, and troubleshoot electronic systems.
Beginning with electrical fundamentals, coursework progressively introduces:
Electronics
Circuit simulation
Solid-state fundamentals
Digital concepts
C++ programming
Microprocessors
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
Data acquisition and programming using LabVIEW
Other coursework includes the study of various fields associated with the electrical/electronic industry.
This degree was designed to transfer the most technical credits to a university electrical engineering technology bachelor's degree program while still preparing you for the workforce.
If immediate employment is your main goal, however, please explore the Electrical Engineering Technology or Computer Engineering Technology Associate in Applied Science programs.
