Electronics is the wave of the future. All aspects of modern society
and business are becoming more dependent on skilled professionals
to maintain the electronics infrastructure. Graduates can choose to
work in challenging positions in the fields of computers, telecommunications,
training and higher studies. Courses will emphasize theory
and practice. Coursework will reflect the changing needs of industry
and inculcate a need for ongoing training. Students planning to
transfer to a four-year technical institution should contact that institution
to check transferable courses. This curriculum prepares students
to sit for the A+ certification exam and Cisco Certified Network Associate
(CCNA) certification exam.
