Electronics Information Technology Academy
The Electronics Program is taught through the Information Technology Academy. The academy is housed in the St. Clair TEC building on the RESA campus, 499 Range Road, Marysville.
Electronics technicians help design, develop, test, and manufacture such electronic equipment as radios, radar, sonar, televisions, industrial and medical measuring or control devices, navigational equipment and computers. Students learn analog, digital and electronic circuits, semiconductors and AC/DC theory. Students will apply electronic theory through hands-on laboratory experiments, project-based learning, and circuit simulation software. Both first- and second-year students will participate in group projects related to speaker box design and programming of robotic games. Second-year students will have the opportunity to complete the nationally recognized Electronic Technician Certification. Specific areas of study include Electronics Technician I Constructing Electronic Circuitry Ohm’s Law/Watt's Law Electromagnetism Capacitors and Inductors Transformers Diodes and Transistors FET and MOSFET Devices
Electronics Technician II Construct/Test Transistor Amps Repair Transistor Circuits Repair Power Supplies/Regulators Construct Oscillator & Pulse Circuits Electronics Communication Techniques Digital Techniques Integrated Circuits Sequential Logic Circuits Computer Programming
PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended that students satisfactorily complete basic algebra before enrolling, and have a strong interest in physical science.
The Electronics Program is designed to give high school students the opportunity to participate in the Engineering/Manufacturing & Industrial Technology Career Pathway.
