Bachelor of Science in Electronics Technology

Students studying Electronics Technology (ET) will learn and select from a broad range of skills to become well-rounded technology specialists. In our program, the student will lean on systems that prepare them for the future. This program provides students with the core skills needed to enter and be successful in careers requiring a knowledge of electronics. Students will have the opportunity to learn the foundations of circuits (AC/DC), foundations of networks, power systems, energy, and digital computing environments. The program has a focus on mainframe education. This niche area was identified because of: 1) the department’s acquisition of a z9 Enterprise system, 2) the scarcity of mainframe education programs in the country, and 3) the high demand for talent in this area.
