The Associate in Applied Science degree in electronics engineering technology program at Central Piedmont, is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET (abet.org). Our program is tailored to ease the transition for students planning on pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) program at UNC Charlotte, but can also be used to gain employment upon graduation.
Electronics Engineering Technicians (associate degree holders) typically build, install, test, troubleshoot, repair, and modify developmental and production electronic components, equipment, and systems such as industrial/computer controls, manufacturing systems, instrumentation systems, communication systems, and power electronic systems.
Emphasis is placed on developing the ability to think critically, analyze, and troubleshoot electronic systems. Beginning with electrical fundamentals, course work progressively introduces electronics, circuit simulation, solid-state fundamentals, digital concepts, instrumentation, C++ programming, microprocessors, programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Course work includes setup and maintenance of instrumentation devices, PIDs, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), LabVIEW programming, C++, and microprocessors. Other course work includes the study of various fields associated with the electrical/electronic industry.
The ELET program requirements can found on the Electronics Engineering Technology webpage or the college catalog.
Prospective students should contact the program chair to identify which electronics engineering technology pathway best suits their career objectives.
