Associate in Science degree - Electrical/Electronics Technology
Catalog 2012-2013

This program prepares students for jobs installing, repairing, maintaining and servicing electrical and electronics equipment.  Electrical/electronics jobs are found in the fields of electrical, medical, industrial, commercial systems, programmable logic controller systems, automotive, communications and others.  The following courses are part of the Electricians Trainee Program and approved by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards: ELECT 120, 121, 266, 267, 271, ELTRN 102B and CNT 103.

Selected courses may meet some of the lower division requirements for bachelor of science programs in engineering technology and industrial technology at certain California State University campuses and private technical colleges.  Consult with electronics department faculty and college counselors for more information.

To earn an associate in science with a major in electricity/electronics, students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a “C” grade or higher, maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher in the coursework required for the major and complete graduation requirements as listed in the catalog.  Certain courses may satisfy both major and other graduation requirements; however, the units are only counted once.
