In this program, you will learn to build, evaluate, test, troubleshoot, service, and repair electronic devices, from the component level to the system level. The program offers four pathways: Applications, Avionics, Mechatronics, and Biomedical Equipment.

The Industrial Electronics Technology Program provides entry-level skills in basic core competencies desired by the industry today. This program prepares students for work in the installation, testing, and maintenance of electrical and electronic systems in industrial, scientific, and commercial facilities. The program also provides specific training in basic computer hardware and software, programmable logic controllers, motors and motor control systems, three-phase power distribution, and human-machine interface and programming. Graduates are prepared to pursue jobs in areas such as automated manufacturing, electrical power distribution, protection systems, and other electrically-related fields.

The Associate in Applied Science degree in Electronics Engineering Technology provides students with a solid theoretical foundation and practical hands-on experience in electronics applications. Graduates of the program are prepared to work as electronics technicians with electronic circuits, control systems, computers, and robotics in the areas of design, analysis, testing, development, maintenance, production, research, and sales.

This electronics program is designed to give students a strong background in the fundamentals of electricity, electronic devices, and basic circuits (digital and linear). The curriculum includes laboratory demonstration of the principles taught in class affording practical experience in fabrication, instrumentation, and presentation.

Today's high technology companies want to hire well-rounded electronics technicians who can help their businesses grow profitably. Northampton's Electronics Technology program integrates comprehensive electronic circuit theory with practical hands-on lab work. Students develop solid troubleshooting skills using modern industry-quality instruments.

The A.A.S. degree in Electrical Technology is an excellent place to begin your career as an electrical technician. You'll learn to construct, test, analyze, troubleshoot, and repair systems using real-world engineering tools and technology. You’ll also learn about fundamental concepts like electronics, industrial control, instrumentation, communications, power systems, and electronic hardware.

The Mechatronics program supplies local industries with maintenance technicians who can install, service, repair, and maintain various industrial automation equipment. The first year of the program prepares the student to be a certified machine operator. After completing the first year and taking the Siemens certification exam, the student will be ready to enter the employment market.

A course of study prepares the students to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills to become technicians who design, build, install, test, troubleshoot, repair, and modify developmental and production electronic components, equipment, and systems.

Although the terms “electrical and electronics engineering” are often used interchangeably in academia, they are quite different in the industry. Our Electronics Engineering Technology program prepares individuals to become technicians who design, build, install, test, troubleshoot, repair, and modify developmental and production electronic components, equipment, and systems. The Electronics Engineering Technology Program provides students the skills necessary to analyze and troubleshoot electronic systems. Students are provided the academic knowledge and hands-on experience needed to perform operations on industrial/computer controls, manufacturing systems, communication systems, and power electronic systems. Students will learn how to read, interpret, and employ electronic schematics (both component and functional block diagrams) in the installation and maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of electronic circuits and systems. A broad-based core of courses, including basic electricity, circuit theory, instrumentation, soldering and fabrication, solid-state fundamentals, analog and data communications, digital concepts, and microprocessors, ensures that students will develop the skills necessary to perform entry-level tasks. Emphasis is placed on providing students the ability to demonstrate a working knowledge of the principles and concepts associated with electronic circuits and systems, as well as the safe operation of test/repair equipment.

Electronics Technology Learning opportunities develop academic, technical, and professional knowledge and skills required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. The program emphasizes a combination of electronics technology theory and practical application necessary for successful employment using both manual and computerized electronics systems. Program graduates receive an Electronics Technology Associate of Science Degree which qualifies them as electronics technicians with a specialization in biomedical instrumentation, communication electronics, computer electronics, industrial electronics, general electronics, or telecommunication electronics.

Electronic and computer circuits are now being used in everything from complex industrial equipment to simple household appliances. If you enjoy working with this exciting technology, you should consider Horry Georgetown Technical College's (HGTC) Associate of Applied Science in Electronics Engineering Technology.

The Computer and Electronics Technology (C&ET) A.A.S. degree program provides graduates with skills in two areas: information technology and electronics. Students have the option to concentrate their studies by following either the information technology track or electronics track. Skilled Computer and Electronics Technicians are in high demand, and nearly all students who have successfully completed the C&ET program have gone to work in the technology field, making some of the highest starting salaries of Clinton alumni.

The Electronic Engineering Technology program has two tracks, one with Electronic Circuitemphasis and the other with Visual Programming emphasis. The core program, common to both tracks, provides the successful student with skills in basic electronics, component usage, focuses on modern lab documentation techniques, and the analysis of analog circuits, digital circuits and microcontroller systems.
