Electrical Electronics Engineering Technology

Electrical and electronics installers and repairers install, repair, or replace various electrical equipment in telecommunications, transportation, utilities, and other industries. Industrial Electronics Technology graduates are employed in the design, testing, installation, and troubleshooting of industrial process control systems, robotics devices, communications systems, and sophisticated instrumentation worldwide.

WCCCD offers an Associate of Applied Science in Electrical Electronics Engineering Technology and four Certificate Degree options. These programs prepare you for a wide range of job opportunities, including installation and maintenance of electronic equipment in manufacturing, research, development, medicine, and communications, while preparing you for the International Society of Certified Technicians (ISCET) certification exams.

What’s the Job Outlook for Electrical and Electronics Installers and Repairers?

Overall employment for electrical and electronics installers and repairers is projected to show little or no change from 2018 to 2028. However, growth rates will vary by specialty. Job opportunities should be excellent for qualified workers with an associate’s degree in electronics along with certification. 

The role of Electrical Mechanical Engineering Technologist and technicians are expected to experience little or no change in job growth from 2022 to 2032, with an annual average of about 3,700 job openings, primarily due to the need to replace workers who retire or change professions.
