Mission Statement:
The mission of the electronics Department is to continue to offer an affordable, effective training program to students in the two-county region. To accomplish this mission, we will maintain a working relationship with potential employers to ensure that our curriculum is consistent with the needs and that students who complete the program are performing to current practices and industry standards.

 

Electronics is an exciting field that is experiencing amazing growth. Many of the employers in the Rogue Valley are looking for technicians with either a one-year certificate, or a two-year Associate of Applied Science Degree. Currently, there are two certificates that students can complete in the electronics field.  The existing certificate is an Electronics Technicians certificate program that gives students general skills and knowledge in the field for an entry-level position. In addition, it can be applied to the two year degree, which is highly recommended for advancement. 

There is a new certificate that started this fall call PC Microprocessor Systems Technician that gives students skills and knowledge related to computers, microprocessors, and micro-controllers.  Students will take classes in  both hardware and software.  The certificate can be applied in both Electronics and Computer Science degree programs.  Our staff works closely with local employers, and we focus on training that is in demand.

To find out what classes are required for an Electronics Technician or PC Microprocessor Systems Technician one-year certificate or the Electronics Technology two-year degree, please see the course description.
