The Computer Integrated Electronics curriculum was revised and updated to meet employment demands. There are two Associate Degree concentrations and four certificate options.
The Computer Technology Concentration for the Associate Degree provides the practical knowledge and experience to install, program, and maintain business computing equipment, or the computer controlled electro-mechanical equipment used for measurement and control during product manufacturing. The Electronics Technology Concentration provides the practical knowledge and experience to troubleshoot and repair electronic analog and digital electronic equipment at the component level.
In the certificate patterns a student may choose the option that will meet a particular vocational skill requirement. Patterns are available that provide knowledge and experience in Optical Communications Technology, Linear Electronics Technology, and two levels of Computer Technology.
