Electronics Technology is an instructional program that prepares individuals to apply basic electronic principles and technical skills to the production, calibration, estimation, testing, assembling, installation and maintenance of electronic equipment. Emphasis is on passive components and solid-state devices; digital circuits; optoelectronic devices; operational amplifiers; audio and RF amplifiers; oscillators; power supplies; and AM, FM and PCM modulators. Knowledge is acquired through theoretical instruction, experimentation and hands-on activities. Instruction will develop basic levels of knowledge, understanding and associated skills essential for entry-level employment in communications, industrial electronics, digital processing, robotics, avionics, biomedical technology and other electronics occupations. This is a 2-year, 6-credit program that student begin in 11^th grade where students receive theoretical knowledge and practical skills in direct current circuits, alternating current circuits, semiconductors, digital electronics, test equipment applications and soldering skills from through hole to surface mount. Students are provided with tools and parts required to build circuits needed to learn how to discern between operational and faulty circuitry. The electronic industry is a field with unlimited growth potential for motivated and qualified individuals. Students who complete this track are eligible to take the J-STD-001 Certification exam. This credential is widely recognized in the global electronics industry and has been endorsed by local electronics companies.
