Electronics Technology
Associate of Applied Science Degree

The Electronics Technology Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree program involves both highly technical and general studies courses. Program emphasizes electronic theory fundamentals, troubleshooting, and design. The technical courses involve extensive lab work using industry standard test equipment and practices.

This program will help students gain skills for entry into one of today's most dynamic and broad-based technical fields. Typical occupations include those of field engineers in business or communications fields or line/maintenance technicians at manufacturing sites. Electronics training also provides excellent positioning for lateral movement into areas such as technical sales or technical writing. 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 take a placement test to determine skill level and readiness in math, reading, and writing. Students must begin with courses within their skill level as determined by placement test scores. Students are required to complete any pre-requisites listed. As part of their training program, students may also be required to enroll in classes that would increase their employability and success.

Advanced Standing

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

Graduation Requirements

Students must complete all courses outlined 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 a "C" or better grade.
