Description

Engineering and Technology Pathway Description: These curriculums are designed to prepare students through the study and application of principles from mathematics, natural sciences, and technology and applied processes based on these subjects.

Coursework includes mathematics, natural sciences, engineering sciences, and technology.

Graduates should qualify to obtain occupations such as technical service providers, materials and technologies testing services, process improvement technicians, engineering technicians, construction technicians and managers, industrial and technology managers, or research technicians.

Electronics Engineering Technology program description: A course of study that prepares students to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills to become technicians who design, build, install, test, troubleshoot, repair, and modify developmental and production electronic components, equipment, and systems such as industrial/computer controls, manufacturing systems, communication systems, and power electronic systems. Includes instruction in mathematics, basic electricity, solid-state fundamentals, digital concepts, and microprocessors or programmable logic controllers. Graduates should qualify for employment as an electronics engineering technician, field service technician, instrumentation technician, maintenance technician, electronic tester, electronic systems integrator, bench technician, or production control technician.

This curriculum complies with the standard approved by the State Board of Community Colleges.

Students may be required to take developmental courses in Math and/or English as a result of high school GPA or pre-enrollment placement tests. Therefore, the student may need more than the minimum number of semester hours listed for graduation. Consult a program advisor for more information.

The appropriate level math class should be taken during the student’s first semester, and a math course should be taken each subsequent semester until all required math courses have been completed. ACA 115 or 122 and EGR 150 should also be completed in the first semester.

This pathway does not meet the entrance requirements at any of the North Carolina public University Bachelor of Science Engineering programs. Students wishing to pursue a transfer should seek an Associate in Engineering degree.

Courses requiring a minimum grade of "C": ACA, EGR, ELC, ELN, ISC, MAT, MEC, and MNT.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this program, students will:

Resolve common electronics technical problems using standard test equipment.
Construct basic automation programs.
Utilize electronic hardware in several environments.
Analyze basic electrical circuits to predict voltage, current, resistance, and power levels at various points in the circuit, and to compare predictions against actual circuit measurements.
