This program is designed for students wanting to complete a two-semester Certificate in Basic Electronics and enter the workforce. During the first semester students learn basic electrical theory, soldering and assembly skills, and manufacturing print reading skills, earning a one-semester Certificate in Electronic Assembly. The second semester adds further instruction in electrical DC/AC theory, industrial wiring, motors and control, digital systems, and operational amplifiers. This program prepares students for entry-level careers in electronics manufacturing that require DC/AC electrical theory, print reading, and electrical assembly and wiring skills.
