An
individual wishing to pursue an electronics career must be willing
to spend quite a lot of time in theoretical study. This is necessary
due to the tremendous growth and resulting complexity in the field
of Electronics.
 Lab
work is required in both directed and semi-directed activities.
Assignments will be made for construction and testing of industry
typical circuits.
Some
projects include design and construction of crossover networks
and speaker enclosures, battery chargers, and projects for various
electronic application. Provisions are made for individual study
and research on projects of a complex nature. Some field project
work may be required.
A
prospective student should have good eyesight, color discrimination,
finger dexterity, patience, and an ability for lengthy concentration
and attention to detail. Background courses which would be of
assistance are mathematics through trigonometry, high school physics,
and general science courses.
Jobs
in the field range from production line work using automatic test
equipment to totally individual field service work such as on-site
repair of a computer installation. Field service usually requires
travel and a high degree of troubleshooting and problem-solving
ability.
Students
are encouraged to join the district's student section of the International
Society for Measurement and Control (ISA). This nonprofit
organization offers students the opportunity to build on knowledge
learned in the classroom.
Several
credential options are available in this program and include:
(all documents in RTF format)
- Diplomas:
- Computer Maintenance Technician
- Electronics
- Robotics and Automation Technician
- Certificates:
- Computer Maintenance Technician I
- Electronics Mechanic Apprentice
