The explosion in the number and diversity of electronic devices used in
home and industry settings has greatly intensified the demand for qualified
technicians. As orders for high-tech communications equipment and electronic
products continue to rise, job opportunities for electronics technicians
will expand even more. Salaries in the various branches of electronics
are among the highest for all technology areas.
Students in the Electronics Technology program learn using state-of-the-art
equipment and instrumentation. They work and train in spacious, modern
laboratories similar to those used in industry. Students have the opportunity
to analyze and troubleshoot actual problems while learning from knowledgeable
and experienced instructors.
The Electronics Technology program may be completed on a part-time basis
by taking classes during the evening or during the day. Those who wish
to pursue a bachelor of science degree in Engineering Technology at New
Mexico State University may apply up to 36 credit hours from the Electronics
Technology program toward the four-year degree.
