Electronic Engineering Technology 



 

CIE’s distance learning Associate in Applied Science in Electronic Engineering Technology Degree was designed to provide students with a well-rounded education in electronics troubleshooting and theory.

This comprehensive Electronics Associate Degree has more theory, more lab experiments, and more in-depth coverage of critical electronics laws and formulas than any other Associate Degree program.

Graduates qualify for service as senior technicians and engineering assistants, working independently or as part of a team of engineers, in the manufacturing, design, or research & development fields.

In addition, they will also master the use of electronics equipment and components with over 300 laboratory exercises and experiments.

Now includes lessons on PIC Technology!



CIE's instruction staff upgraded the electronics associate degree to included new material on PIC coding and 68HC11 microcontroller technology!

The new module contains 17 lessons where students learn how to program the 68HC11 microcontroller used in PIC programming and understand the principles of processors.

In addition they will know how to interface keyboards and displays to the 68HC11 and learn about high-level languages.

Start with the basics of electronics and move on to more advanced topics that include:



- AC and DC Circuit Theory
- Identifying Components
- Working with Printed Circuit Boards
- Relays & Robots
- Regulated Power Supplies
- Troubleshooting Digital Systems
- PIC Program Coding and the 68HC11 Microcontroller
- Oscilloscope Measurements
- Introduction to Computers
- Digital Systems and How To Troubleshoot Them
- PC Board Layout
- Technical Writing
- Electronics Math
- Plus more!

CIE’s Electronics Associate Degree program (course 19) is a laboratory-intensive course that contains 254 self-paced lessons with over 300 hands-on training experiments.

You'll learn to use CIE’s Personal Training Laboratory, a Multimeter and a Digital Security Control Device. Also included is an oscilloscope video instruction tape created by CIE's instructors for this course.

You can take your exams online with our e-grade site or simply mail them in to us.

Our instruction staff works directly with you one-on-one to answer your questions and provide you with technical assistance when needed – even if it’s on a Saturday!

This program was created specifically for the distance learning student. Experience a step-by-step method of learning that allows you to complete each lesson at your own pace when it’s convenient for you!

You Pay Only For The Time You Use!



CIE’s A.A.S. Program is broken down into 24 week terms. You have up to eight 24 week terms to complete CIE’s Associate Degree. During each of these terms you'll have a minimum number of lessons to complete, but no maximum!

If you were to complete the entire program in just 48 weeks, you would only be required to pay tuition for two terms. There are no additional charges for extra lessons or labs completed during a given term.

CIE makes it possible for students who can study at an accelerated pace to realize significant savings off the cost of a top-quality electronics education!

How The Program Works.



As soon as your enrollment into the A.A.S. Degree Program has been accepted you will receive an Enrollment Confirmation form which includes a Progress Record.

The Progress Record will provide details on your first 12 credit hours, along with the remaining lessons in your program, so you can use it as a permanent record of your grades. As you progress into your second term of study, CIE will advise you of your cumulative credit hours.

If you are applying for academic transfer credit towards the A.A.S. Program, you may have your first term custom-tailored and your credit hour assignment individually prepared to reflect your credits transferred.

Students graduate with a Nationally Accredited Associate Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology.

Professional Certifications

CIE’s distance learning Associate in Applied Science in Electronic Engineering Technology Degree also includes a study guide on how to prepare for the Associate-Level Certified Electronics Technician (CET) exam.

This test is administered by the International Society of Certified Electronics Technicians and has over 46,000 certified technicians across the globe!

CIE AAS graduates are also eligible for the Certified Broadcast Technologist certification from the Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE).

SBE is the only organization devoted to the advancement of all levels and types of broadcast engineering. With more than 5,000 members and more than 100 local chapters, SBE helps you keep pace with this rapidly changing industry.

Certification enables employers to separate knowledgeable job applicants from those with less training and skills.

Study when it's convenient for you!

CIE has an open enrollment policy and you can start this program at anytime. One of the advantages of enrolling with CIE is that you can study at your own pace when it's convenient for you.

We can accommodate almost any arrangement that suits you best and with our generous time allotment of eight 24 week terms for the A.A.S. Degree you can be assured to have enough time to complete your program.
