Program Overview

This 138-hour program is offered through four courses covering topics in direct current, alternating current, semiconductors, and digital circuits. These skills-based classes are made up of lecture and lab components. Lecture components are offered online asynchronously, and lab components are completed in person asynchronously, by appointment. Though the program is offered asynchronously, students should expect to spend 10 hours per week for 15 weeks to complete the training content. By the end of this program, students will be able to: demonstrate effective electrical and shop safety including PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) use; follow safety procedures, and lock-out tag-out protocol; measure AC & DC voltages and currents; explain fundamental electrical principles; recognize and troubleshoot diode, transistor, thyristor and opamp circuits; write simple C language programs; interpret documents and prints describing various electronic circuits.
