Description

Industrial Electronics Technology prepares students to pursue virtually any career with “technician” in the description. The program provides a solid foundation in DC and AC electricity and electronics as well as solid state electronics. Solid state electronics focuses upon power delivery, switching, and sensor applications. Courses in basic motor controls theory, ladder logic, and control wiring progress to advanced motor controls applications such as variable frequency drives, DC drives, and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) integration. The program covers digital logic basics, moves into the foundations of PLCs, and culminates in Advanced PLC applications using a variety of programmable controllers. To develop multiple skills, students have the option to take courses in robotics and hydraulics and pneumatics.
