Electronic Technology Degree
(281) 756-3667
Degree: Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.)
Length: Four-Semester (Two-Year) Program
Purpose: An electronics technician from ACC is a well paid, semiprofessional person who has developed computational skills, analytic abilities, and
electronic measurement techniques to work with all kinds of electronic equipment. His or her employment opportunities are unrestricted by community
size, environmental conditions, or geographical locale. Generally, the electronic technician will be employed in the development of new equipment
or in troubleshooting and maintaining existing equipment. Opportunities also exist in the sales of electronic components and equipment. To qualify,
an electronics technician student will spend one year in the study of circuit actions of electronic components separately and in combination, when
subjected to both direct current and alternating current. In the second year he or she will study circuits as building blocks in the design and manufacture
of digital electronic equipment such as computers, printers, video monitors and information storage devices. The potential technician will also learn to
interface the devices using a combination of hardware and software techniques.
Program Requirements: In addition to the general requirements for admission to ACC, entry into the electronics technology program requires
proficiency in algebra, English, and reading. Students who lack proficiency will be required to complete developmental courses in the above subjects
prior to enrolling in electronics courses.
