(PDE APPROVED PROGRAM OF STUDY)
Electronics Technology prepares students to apply basic electronic principles and technical skills to the
production, calibration, estimation, testing, assembling, installation and maintenance of electronic
equipment. Emphasis is on passive components and solid-state devices; digital circuits; optoelectronic
devices; operational amplifiers; audio and RF amplifiers; oscillators; power supplies; and AM, FM and PCM
modulators. Knowledge is acquired through theoretical instruction, experimentation and hands-on
activities. Instruction will develop basic levels of knowledge, understanding and associated skills essential
for entry-level employment in communications, industrial electronics, digital processing, robotics, avionics,
biomedical technology and other electronics occupations. Through collaborative curriculum planning with
colleges and trade schools, students who participate in this program are eligible to obtain up to 12 credits
advanced standing in a post-secondary program.
