What You Will Learn

The Electronics Engineering Technology Program at CCM prepares students for positions in electronics industries and related electronics services. Job activities center on technical problem solving and the practical application of engineering. The Electronics Engineering Technology Program produces graduates that are employed and operate effectively in the positions of Electrical Technicians, Equipment Managers, Information Technology Developers and Quality Control Operators. It also produces graduates that can successfully transfer and complete a baccalaureate degree in electronics engineering technology.

Why Study Electronics Engineering Technology at CCM?

The faculty in the Electronics Engineering Program at CCM have many years of teaching and industry experience. The program has core electronic courses sequenced along with applied mathematics and science to develop a broad background in the technology. Each electronics course contains a laboratory which utilizes modern test instruments and applies classroom theory to practical applications.

In the second year of study, students interested in health-related fields may select Biomedical Equipment options. In this option, students develop a specialization in equipment used in the healthcare industry, learning how to maintain and repair the equipment.

This program is through on campus learning between lectures and laboratory for students on high-end computers and equipment.

Biomedical Equipment

Student Outcomes for Electronics Engineering Technology- Biomedical Equipment Option:

1. An ability to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the Electronics Engineering Technology discipline to narrowly defined activities in:
   1. The application of circuit analysis and design, computer programming, associated software, analog and digital electronics and microcomputers, and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electronic systems.
   2. The application of physics, algebra and trigonometry in the solving of electrical and electronic problems.
   3. In addition graduates of the Biomedical Equipment option will have an ability to apply knowledge in chemistry and biological sciences to the safe building, testing, operation, and maintenance of bioengineering systems and biomedical equipment.
2. An ability to conduct standard tests and measurements, and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments.
3. An ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to problems in electrical/electronic circuits or systems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge.
4. An ability to identify, analyze, and solve narrowly defined technical problems in the field of electronics.
5. An ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team.
6. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments.
7. An ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
8. A commitment to quality, timeliness and continuous improvement.
9. An understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity.
10. An understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development.

After obtaining an Associate in Applied Science Degree, it is possible to continue at a four-year college and to complete a Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering Technology. No prior knowledge of electronics is necessary to enter the Electronics Engineering Technology program. Core electronics courses are sequenced along with applied mathematics and science to develop a broad background in the technology. Each electronics course contains a laboratory, which utilizes modern test instruments and applies classroom theory to practical applications. In the second year of study, students interested in health-related fields may select the Biomedical Equipment option (Program Code 3601). Cooperative Education, a work-study program with local electronic firms, is available.

This option in the Electronics Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the Electronic Engineering Technology program criteria.
