The Industrial Electronics program prepares students for careers as electronic technicians. Technicians are involved in all phases of industrial and commercial installation, service, and repair of today’s modern equipment. Students will learn about many areas of electronics, including basic electronics, solid-state devices, pulse and switching circuits, computers, motor controls, robotics, programmable logic controllers, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, tools and test equipment. Students will have the opportunity to take a national certification test and, if successful, will be recognized as certified electronic technicians.
