The Electronics Technology program at HFCC starts with the basic principles of electricity and proceeds to the concepts of solid state diodes, transistors, integrated circuits and microprocessors.  More advanced courses show how these fundamental principles are applied to machine control, computers, power supplies, amplifiers, oscillators, industrial control and instrumentation systems.  Laboratory instruction (about 50% of class time) teaches the use of test equipment, setting up circuits, trouble shooting and calibrating systems.

Working conditions are simulated in five fully equipped laboratories where students put electrical/electronics theory to use. Along with the hands-on laboratory experience, computer simulated circuit analysis is also used in most electronic courses.

Students complete a minimum of 63 credits for the Associate in Science Degree, consisting of required core, required support and general education courses.

Electronics Technical Co-op
The Electronics Technology program offers technical cooperative training. Technical Co-op, which is a one semester course, offers practical work experience within the Electronics Technology field through participation in a supervised cooperative education program.  This program integrates work experience with classroom experience. The majority of the students completing the Electronics Technical Co-op program are offered employment with the companies they trained and worked with.  For additional information on Technical Co-op, please contact Nancy Stupsker, M.A. at 313-845-6359 or stupsker@hfcc.edu.
