Core Electronics –

 

Students with no experience in the field of electronics learn the four basic types of circuits: DC, AC, Analog and Digital.  Once students complete 1050 hours, they will be able to identify any component on a circuit board; plus troubleshoot and diagnose electronic circuits.  Troubleshooting and problem solving are encouraged in this program.  Electronics is the foundation for many new and emerging fields such as biomedical electronics, magnetic recording electronics and portable systems design.

 

This is a progress-based program with individual instruction.  Student’s pace is regulated so they will complete within 1050 hours time limit.  Students may exceed pace developed by the instructor to take advantage of on-the-job training opportunities.
