Training provided through the Industrial Mechatronics Maintenance Technology, Electronics Certificate program prepares students for a career in various entry-level positions in the field of electronics and other related technology industries including technical sales, manufacturing, and quality control. The certificate offers a broad range of electronics courses with emphasis on electronics-related analysis, operation, application, installation, and service. Coursework is designed to prepare students for the National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certificate exams. Because most courses have prerequisites, students should consult with the Program Coordinator prior to enrolling.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Electronics certificate program, students should be able to:
• Apply electrical safety procedures in the field or the laboratory
• Demonstrate proper soldering techniques and the safe use of standard hand tools and test instrumentation
• Analyze, maintain, troubleshoot and repair electrical or electronic equipment with a minimum of supervision
• Utilize technical and service manuals, to identify wiring, schematic, and printed circuit board diagrams
• Summarize concepts of matter and energy; and describe how the concepts relate to the components that generate, carry or control electricity
