Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology

Certificate of Completion #24171

The Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) certificate program prepares individuals either for initial employment or for enhancement of existing skills in the electronics field, or for transfer into B.S. programs in Electronics Technology or Industrial Technology. In addition to exposing students to core topics such as components and circuits, the program includes coursework in advanced areas including microcontrollers and interfacing, communications, and industrial electronic controls. Students completing the ECET certificate program possess ample skills to make them versatile employees. Typical technician-level job classifications include field service technician, field engineer, computer service technician, customer service technician, communications technician, maintenance technician, and electronics technician.

Program Learning Outcomes

• Students will demonstrate proper use of electronic test equipment and associate measurement results with circuit behaviors in the laboratory.
• Students will demonstrate a connection between higher level electronics coursework and that of the fundamental coursework in AC, DC and digital electronics.
• Students will communicate, both verbally and in writing, knowledge of electrical concepts and their application to the observed behaviors of circuits and systems.
• Students will apply knowledge of electronic principles to the areas of electronic devices, industrial electronics, and electronic assembly and fabrication.
• Students will apply theoretical principles gained in math, physics, and computer science support courses to real world applications in the electronics technology courses.
