Students study electrical and electronic circuits, audio and digital electronics, microprocessors, robotics systems, copper cabling, fiber optics, and computer servicing and troubleshooting. Students operate voltmeters, oscilloscopes, and other specialized equipment. Students will also receive instruction in programmable logic controllers and industrial motor controls. Students will build their own lab trainer, multi-meters, and other electronic projects. A prior course in Algebra is helpful, but not required.
