The Career

The Electronics Technology program is designed to prepare graduates for careers in the field of electronics. The courses target skill sets that a modern electrical technician utilizes such as work in electronics, microprocessors, robotics, and industrial instrumentation and control systems. The electronics courses provide hands-on learning opportunities with modern electronic equipment while developing student knowledge of electronic instruments, devices, and measurement techniques.

The SUNY Niagara Approach

This two-year degree program prepares students to enter the electronics technology industry by developing skills in constructing and analyzing circuits, applying testing and fault-diagnosis techniques, and using programmable devices to install and evaluate electronic systems.

Admission

Students are typically admitted in the fall for full-time study. Admission is offered in the spring as well, but students might be delayed due to course sequencing. 
 

Program Learning Outcomes

The student will:

• Demonstrate the ability to analyze electrical circuit diagrams and systems to solve for appropriate electrical data and specifications
• Demonstrate the ability to construct electrical circuits from schematic diagrams, and to analyze the circuits
• Demonstrate the ability to analyze, test, and diagnose for faults using the appropriate measurement techniques and adjust the equipment.
• Demonstrate the ability to design electrical circuits and systems from given data and specifications
• Demonstrate an applied knowledge of electrical theory and electronic components including programmable devices to perform equipment installation, test, and evaluation
