Electronics engineering is a challenging industry that integrates leading-edge technology and techniques into the creation of electronic systems. It requires strong problem-solving and analytical skills, as well as a solid understanding of math and computers in relation to electrical and electronic devices. Through exposure to the same technology that’s used by industry leaders, electronics programs at Freedom Academy give students the knowledge and skills needed to find a career in this field.
If you thrive on problem-solving and have an interest in electronics engineering, here’s what you need to know.
Electronics Courses
In all Freedom Academy electronics programs, students gain strong technical knowledge and hands-on experience through a combination of theory and practical courses. Programs typically fall into one of two categories:
Electronics Engineering Technician: Offered as two-year diploma programs, course subjects include electrical circuits, electronic devices, instrumentation, microcontrollers, analog and digital conversions and more. In many programs, students can choose to extend their education with a final semester of co-op.
Electronics Engineering Technology: In these three-year programs, students take similar courses to the technician programs, but gain a more in-depth knowledge from the extra year of schooling. Some programs may also have third-year courses that focus on a specific type of electronics. In addition, many of these programs include co-ops or have a co-op option.
Note: Some electronics engineering technician and technology programs have areas of specialization, such as electromechanics, industrial controls, computer programming or broadband cable. Check program details carefully to find what’s right for you.
