Telecommunications Degree Program
Award: Associate of Applied Sciences degree, A.A.S. (code AAS.EGR.TELE)
Purpose: Students prepare to become engineering technicians in the field of telecommunications. The option provides a general background in electronics and computer systems specifically oriented to their applications in telecommunications systems. It covers data communications concepts and a wide variety of telecommunications systems. Graduates gain skills to work with engineers and scientists in the telecommunications environment. The option should not be confused with the traditional four-year engineering program which leads to a bachelor of science degree in engineering.
Also, we offer a Telecommunications Certificate program which consists of 6 technical courses, all of which can be applied to this Telecommunications A.A.S. degree program.
Range of Occupations: Cabling and wiring technician, Engineering technician, Field service technician, Telecommunications technician, Test technician

* Students may substitute CSI 113, Introduction to Computers, for CSI 112. If this option is selected the number of required credits would be reduced by one for a total of 62 credit hours.
** A minimum of four credit hours of mathematics is required. One of the following may be substituted for the MAT 121 requirement: MAT 151, MAT 191, combination of MAT 131 and MAT 142.
*** The combination of CSI 157-158 may be substituted for CSI 260
Note: One general education course must meet the diversity requirement.
