Technology is central to the economy of the 21st century, and the demand for
skilled technicians continues to increase steadily. Knowledge and skills in
electronics are essential for those seeking careers in manufacturing, service,
and technical sales and support.
The electronics core curriculum provides students with a background in analog
and digital electronics as well as a broad general education which can be the
foundation for further study at four-year colleges and universities. As a
student in one of these programs, you will receive hands-on training in QCC’s
modern laboratories and study under the direction of instructors who have
extensive experience in the field of electronics.
The Electronics Technician Option prepares students for careers as
electronics technicians. Electronics technicians are employed in such fields as
research and development, automated manufacturing, telecommunications,
photonics, and instrumentation. Other career opportunities exist in
microelectronics manufacturing, field service, and integrated circuit layout
design.
This program is recommended for students intending to transfer into a bachelor’s
degree program in Electronics or Electrical Engineering Technology.
