| WHY?
You'll be ready for a career in electronics engineering technology with expertise in
robotics, photonics, and laser technologies.
Robots are used in ocean and space exploration, biomedical research,
food processing, homeland security, and advanced manufacturing. In
fact, the U.S. is the largest user of robotic equipment for flexible manufacturing.
Changing at the speed of light, the field of photonics affects almost every industry with applications in laser eye surgery, "smart" missiles, fiber optic cable for high speed
Internet access, and CD and DVD recording.
As a technical specialist in this field, you'll use your knowledge and skills to assist scientists and engineers. You'll gain these skills in the courses you take at IRSC!
WHERE?
Offered at the Kight Center for Emerging Technologies at the IRSC Main Campus in Fort Pierce - one of the most technologically sophisticated educational facilities in the country!
You'll use the state-of-the-art robotics equipment in the Jerry M. Herold Advanced Manufacturing Suite and benefit from one of the nation's only college-level photonics /
optics technology laboratories.
GREAT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Electronics engineering technology careers are expected to be among the fastest growing occupations through 2012, with median salaries at $55,000 annually.
WHEN?
Classes are held Monday through Thursday mornings, allowing you to complete the
degree program in less than two years! |
