Associate of Applied Science Degree (AAS) in Engineering Technology - Electronics - Defense Contractor Technician

College of Southern Nevada

The Associate of Applied Science Degree in Engineering Technology with Electronics – Defense Contractor Technician prepares students to assist in providing support for engineering functions or to function as an Electronics Technician. Instruction includes analog and digital circuit design, implementation and testing, fabrication techniques, telecommunications, microprocessor programming-interfacing, in-depth analysis of analog and digital circuits, computer fundamentals, and network fundamentals. Specialized electives for topics such as test equipment, in-depth analysis of electrical and power supply troubleshooting, radar systems, and microwave systems are offered. This two-year program provides students with the methods and procedures used in engineering organizations and by electronics technicians in defense contractor functions. Instruction takes place in a hands-on, state-of-the-art environment.Student Learning OutcomesDemonstrate knowledge of safety procedures and proper electronics fabrication techniques.Identify components, design, construct, and test various circuits to include filters and construct a Bode Plot of an amplifier’s frequency response.Construct, analyze, and test various types of digital circuits and microprocessor/microcontroller circuits. Demonstrate a working knowledge writing programs to control other devices.Demonstrate commitment to quality, timeliness, continuous improvement, professional ethics, and respect for diversity while showing an understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in continuing professional development.Demonstrate a working knowledge of common modulation/transmission methods to include such as AM, FM and Pulse modulation.
