COMPUTER AND ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IT MEANS:
Technology runs the planet, with computers and electronics playing an essential role in many
types of technologies. It is truly a digital world, and those who understand this world can
become valuable additions to technology-focused employers. "Advances in technology and
knowledge generation over the next few years will radically transform the very nature of how
we grow our economy and how we compete," claimed Phillip J. Bond, Under Secretary of
Commerce for Technology, in January 2002.
Many fields use electronics and computer technology skills. These fields include, among
others, aviation, communications, computers, consumer products, research and development,
and defense.
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU:
According to a 2001/2002 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report, eight of the ten
fastest-growing occupations through the year 2010 will be in technology fields.
If you like to take things apart just so you can see how they work, you could be the
kind of student who would feel at home studying computer and electronics technology at
TTI Technical Institute. The Computer and Electronics Engineering Technology program in the
School of Electronics Technology teaches certain circuits, systems and specialized
techniques used in electronics and computer technology career fields. It also exposes
students to a combination of classroom theory and practical application in a laboratory
environment.
This program can help graduates begin careers in a variety of entry-level positions in
various fields involving electronics and computers. These may include, among others, such
positions as technician, electronics technician, field service representative, salesperson
and computer technician.
