Associate of Applied Science Degree (AAS) in Engineering Technology - Network Electronics

College of Southern Nevada

The Associate of Applied Science Degree in Engineering Technology - Network Electronics prepares students with the necessary skills required by today’s high-tech, high-wage networking/electronics industry. Instruction includes networking and electronic topics such as IP network configuration and maintenance, electronics and digital circuits, and interfacing sensors and control devices to networks and electronic systems. This two-year program provides the students with the methods and procedures used by technicians in the networked electronics industry. Instruction depends on significant hands-on exercises in a state-of-the-art environment.Student Learning OutcomesConstruct, test, and verify the operation of various analog, digital, microprocessor, sensors, and device control circuits using electronics/networking laboratory test equipment.Solve problems with simple networks and connected devices such as PCs, routers and switches networking devices such as routers.Explain the signaling and system structure of the various types of networks, such as cell phone and IP based systems.Analyze, assemble, and test operation of basic analog electronic circuits, digital, and microprocessor circuits that would be key parts of an interface for sensors and device control circuits over networks.Demonstrate commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement, while showing an understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development.
