Electronics Technology - Associate of Applied Science (Major Code - ELT)

The Electronics Technology Associate of Applied Science degree prepares students for employment in the field of general electronics and computer systems. Focus is on the study of electricity, analog and digital devices and circuits, measurements, electronic communications, microprocessors, microcomputers, and computer networking and software applications.

Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete this program will be able to do the following:

  • Analyze voltage, current, power, resistance, impedance, reactance, and time constants for alternating current and direct current resistive circuits.
  • Identify device types, determine expected voltages, and troubleshoot and isolate faults in analog power supply components and semiconductor devices.
  • Perform numbering system conversions and calculations, and compare the operation of logic gates, flip-flops, registers, counters, and advanced digital circuits.
  • Identify and measure various modulated signals, and interpret the signal characteristics using a spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope.
  • Calculate amplifier gain, cable loss, and band pass measurements on radio frequency devices.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the importance and operation of microprocessors and microcomputers in communication systems.
  • Create solutions to typical information systems problems; and demonstrate an understanding of basic information systems functions.
  • Utilize database applications to support decision making and to facilitate effective problem solving.
