Electronic Engineering is a two-year, 6 credit course that will provide students the opportunity to explore the fundamental concepts of both Electronic and Electrical Engineering. This program has a large focus on college readiness and thus the suggested pre-calculus math level. Students will get to explore simulation software, engineering math concepts, alternating and direct current theories, analog and digital concepts, lab related explorations, circuit building, fault finding, project building, 3D printer usage and also get to gain skills in other engineering tools and equipment like, oscilloscopes (both analog and digital) multimeters, soldering techniques, power supplies, frequency generators etc. Students will gain knowledge and skills both in the academics and in the practical applications. Students will get the opportunity to take state exams, offering various levels of college credit upon successful completion.
Electronic Engineers apply their knowledge of Electronic Theory and components to design and create circuits used in various industries, such as commercial, military, industrial, medical and scientific. Their work involves analyzing, designing, prototyping testing and ensuring safety standards and regulations are met. These are the problem solvers of today, creating solutions for tomorrow, making our world work a little better, faster, smoother and more practical.
National Average Salary for an Electronic Engineer = $117,590*
*(May 2024) according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics.
College Credit: Students have the opportunity to earn college credit, upon completion of career-tech coursework and/or industry-recognized credentials, provided all program and grade requirements are met - at no cost to the students and families.
Weighted Grading: CTAG aligned courses follow the same weighted grading scale as AP and CCP courses.
Work-Based Learning: Juniors participate in simulated work activities, within their career tech program, gaining real-world experience in their chosen field. Seniors in good standing (strong grades, good attendance, professional skills, and on track to graduate) will be eligible to participate in an internship or job site placement aligned with their course of study, in lieu of attending their career-tech program. Approval from the WS Work-Based Learning (WBL) Specialist and Coordinator are required.
West Shore Career-Tech programs support student graduation requirements through Career Readiness Options and/or the Industry-Recognized Credential Seal.
