The Electronics Engineering Technology Associate in Applied Science Degree prepares individuals to become technicians who design, build, install, test, troubleshoot, repair and modify developmental and production electronic components, equipment and systems, including industrial/ computer controls, manufacturing systems, communication systems and power electronic systems.
The Advanced PLC Programming Certificate provides the student with enhanced technical skills and knowledge necessary to work with the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). An emphasis is placed on programming techniques, networking, specialty I/O modules, system troubleshooting and the integration of PLCs with various SCADA and DCS software packages. Upon completion, students should be able to specify, implement and maintain complex PLC-controlled systems. Students entering the program are expected to have a basic knowledge of PLC ladder logic and PLC wiring.
This certificate program provides the student with a program of study necessary for developing basic electronic skills. The student will gain an understanding of AC/DC basic circuits, digital circuits and basic electronic devices.
The Embedded Systems Certificate program provides the student with the technical skills and knowledge necessary to work in the design and development of embedded systems commonly found in industrial control, communications, building automation, etc.
The PLC Programming Certificate provides the skills and knowledge needed to work with the programmable logic controllers (PLCs) typically found in an industrial environment.
The SCADA Systems Certificate provides the student with technical skills and knowledge necessary to work with data acquisition systems commonly found in industrial process control applications. The program includes the operation, programming and interfacing of PLCs, as well as using data acquisition software to monitor, gather and process real-time data. Students entering the program are expected to have a basic knowledge of AC and DC electrical circuits.
