Programmatic Information:
Students can earn an Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Science in
Electronics and Computer Technology at Ivy Tech Community College-Central Indiana. The
A.S. degree is a generalist degree that can transfer to other colleges and universities for
students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in electronics technology.
Specialties in the areas of Biomedical, Communications, and Industrial are also available. The
biomedical specialty provides the students with AC/DC electronic skills and advances into circuit
theory and application of solid state devices, and digital principles along with medical terms and
anatomy. The specialty enables a graduate to seek employment as an electronics medical
equipment installer and a medical equipment troubleshooting technician. The types of
employment could be with a hospital or a medical equipment contractor.
The communications specialty provides students with AC/DC electronic skills and advances into
circuit theory and application of solid state devices, digital principles, electronic communications
and computer systems. This specialty enables a graduate to seek employment as an electronics
or computer technician. Types of employment could include an electrical equipment installer;
AM, FM, video broadcast technician; antenna or cable installer; digital, computer and
peripherals technician; and consumer electronics, radio or high frequency equipment repairman.
The industrial specialty provides the students with AC/DC electronics skills and advances into
circuits theory and application of solid state devices, digital principles and industrial
programmable controls and systems. This specialty enables a graduate to seek employment as
an industrial electronics technician. Types of employment could be in the field of advance
manufacturing systems to include electrical equipment installer, process control equipment
technician, electronics instrumentation technician, AC/DC machine installer and technician,
manufacturing systems installer, and calibration and maintenance technician.
The professional core of the electronics program includes ELT 120: Introduction of Electronics,
ELT 121: Circuits I, ELT 122: Circuits II, ELT 124: Digital I, ELT 126: Solid State I, ELT 234:
Advanced Problem Solving, and TEC 104: Computer Fundamentals for Technology.

Historical use of library: In the past, electronics instructors have required use of library
general, reference, and electronic resources as part of assignments.
Potential use of library: There are several potential uses of the library by electronics students
and faculty. Students can use print periodicals and online databases to access current industry
information. The reference and general collections also provide access to career, program
specific, and general research information in a wide variety of areas. The library facilities
provide quiet workspace for individuals and groups, as well as access to computers. Both on
and off campus, students can access library resources online. Faculty can use print and
electronic library resources for both classroom enrichment and professional development.
Specific electronic resources:
ProQuest Career and Technical Education database
ebrary - electronic books
