Electronics, although a relatively new science, is an industrial giant. To many people, electronics means entertainment, radio, television, and high fidelity record players. But entertainment takes in only one segment of the industry. In reality, electronics is involved in virtually every type of industrial activity. The field of electronics includes: radio, sonar, television, telephone, and other forms of communication; industrial measuring, recording, indication and controlling devices, navigational equipment, missile and space craft guidance and transmitting instruments, electronic computers, and many other types of equipment using vacuum tubes and semi-conductor circuits.
The Electronics field is one of the fastest growing occupational areas in the world job market. This program provides the instruction and experiences necessary for employment in consumer, industrial, and computer electronics.


What Qualities Should I Have?
You should have a strong interest in electronics and above average abilities in math and science. Much of the material taught is very theoretical and therefore, you should have the ability to work with invisible quantities. Good manual dexterity is also required.
