Courses for this Program

About the Program

The Electronics Technology Associate of Applied Science degree provides students the necessary
skills for entry into one of today’s most dynamic and broad-based technical fields. The program
emphasizes electronic theory fundamentals, troubleshooting and design, and involves both highly
technical and general studies courses. Advanced courses include radio frequency and microwave
communications, PC hardware, and microcontrollers and interfacing. Typical occupations include
those of electronics test technicians at manufacturing sites or field engineers in the communications
industry.

The technical courses involve extensive lab work using industry standard test equipment and practices.
As a capstone, students design and build an electronics project to demonstrate their proficiencies
of program outcomes. The AAS degree can be used for technical block transfers to four-year
institutions’ basic engineering programs, although continuing students will be advised to take
additional transfer courses.

Entry Requirements

Students are required to complete the Placement Process to determine skill level and readiness in math, reading, and writing. As part of their training program, students must begin with the courses within their skill level as determined through the Placement Process. In addition, students may also be required to enroll in classes that would increase their employability and success.

Students are required to complete any prerequisites on this guide.

Advanced Standing

Coursework from accredited colleges and universities will be accepted in accordance with college
policies and with the Electronics Technology Department chair’s recommendation. In order
to ensure that coursework is current, program courses over three years old must be reviewed and
approved by the appropriate department chair before being accepted toward core requirements.
Official transcripts must be filed with the RCC Enrollment Services Office.

Graduation Requirements

Students are required to complete all courses in this program with a grade of “C” or better to receive their degrees. Certain required courses are graded on a pass/no pass basis only. A grade of “P” for these courses indicates a student earned the equivalent of a “C” or better grade.

¹ Required for graduation. 

² If students test out of WR115, they may take WR122 instead of speech upon completion of WR121.
