The Electronic Systems Technology Certificate Program is an intensive program that provides students with knowledge and skill-based training to work in entry-level positions in various industries. It is taught 4 days per week in morning or evening sessions for a total of 5 terms in 60 weeks. The program is 15 months for both day and evening sessions.
The objective of this program is to prepare graduates for entry-level positions capable of installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting basic electronic equipment and systems in either industrial or commercial electronic fields.
Through electives, these graduates may be further qualified for entry-level employment with organizations involved in installation, maintenance, and training for computer networking.
Program Overview
The Electronic Systems Technology Certificate Program is specifically designed to equip the graduate with entry-level skills in analog and digital electronics, personal computers, basic networking, basic wiring, motor controls and PLC skills.
Elective course choices allow the student to pursue additional courses of their choice which include computer repair, networking and network security, as well as electrical wiring methods, web design, instrumentation principles and safety courses. Studies include classroom and laboratory work in these areas:
- Direct Current Circuits
- Basic Electronics
- Fundamentals of Analog Electronics
- Diodes and Transistors
- Op-Amps and Integrated Circuits
Laboratory experiments in each of these sections thoroughly familiarize students with the associated principles. The classroom theory is immediately applied in carefully designed laboratory projects.
After analog electronics, the digital section commences with detailed classroom and laboratory experiments using troubleshooting equipment and circuit components. Troubleshooting skills are developed as students successfully add to their knowledge in this very exciting field.
Intro to PC Office Applications course familiarizes the student with Microsoft Office software such as Word and Excel. Computer hardware and software configuration as well as operating systems are included in three A+ courses as an elective choice. Two computer networking courses are in the program with additional computer classes as elective options. For the student that may desire to work in the security or controls field, there are core course choices of relay logic and motor controls as well as programmable controls. The 60.5 QCH earned in this certificate program will apply toward an Associate in Occupational Studies (AOS) Degree in Automation & Electronic Systems Technology.
Program Teaching Methods
The teaching methods used in this program include classroom theory and lab sessions that are coupled with an atmosphere solidly based on “real work” industrial concepts. Studies are individualized and progress is monitored with assignments, quizzes, and laboratory evaluations.
