The development of faster, cheaper integrated circuit designs, software technology advancements and the explosion of Network and Internet use in business, industry and academia has allowed economical high-end computer systems to flood the workplace. Because of this expansion of computer technology use in the business world the need for trained Computer and Electronic Technicians is greater than ever. Shasta College offers many courses in the fields of Computer Electronics and Electronics Technology. The following is a list of degrees and certificates that are offered: Computer Electronics Associate of Arts Degree The Computer Electronics program is intended to prepare students for employment as Computer Electronic Technicians or in one of the following related areas: communications, microwave, robotics, navigational technologies, avionics, industrial controls, telecommunications, military systems and in home entertainment technologies. Computer Electronics will give the student an advanced understanding of the theory and application of direct current and alternating current technologies. The student will use these concepts to design, build, analyze and troubleshoot many practical electronic devices including FM / AM radio receivers and transmitters and other communications devices. The student will learn binary and hexadecimal math, the basic logic gates and how to implement them. Students will take this knowledge and use it to investigate the complete family of integrated circuits from simple nand gates up to complete analysis of microprocessor-based systems. Systems like the Basic Stamp micro-controller, using a sub-set of Basic language as the interface, and the PIC16F84 micro-controller, using Assembler language as the interface are built and tested. The students interface these microprocessors with a PC using Windows and DOS operating systems. Shasta College offers several programming languages including Visual Basic, C programming and Assembler language. These languages will give students the programming skills that can apply to real world situations. These classes are a must for entry level programmers and also for those wanting to update their current skills. This degree requires 21 units of general education in addition to the CORE classes listed. Computer Maintenance Certificate T he Computer Maintenance Certificate Program provides the background and training necessary to maintain and troubleshoot common microcomputer systems to the board level. This program provides hands-on training in basic electronics, DOS & Windows installation, networking, PC operation, repair, and computer management. This program has two different emphasis. One is structured to prepare the student to take the Comp TIA A+ industry certification test and the other is structured to introduce the student to the Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) Academy test certification.Computer Repair Certificate This certificate is intended to prepare students to enter the job market with a comprehensive background in computer and electronic fundamentals. This program places more emphasis on work experience and work-oriented skills than a Computer Electronic Technology A.A. degree. Electronics Technology Associate of Arts Degree T his program will transfer to one of several state colleges and universities in an Electronic Engineering Technology Program, an Industrial Technology Program, an Industrial Management Program or an Industrial Arts Teacher Preparation Program.This program will give the student a foundation in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. Also, similar to Computer Electronics, this program will give the student an advanced understanding of the theory and application of integrated circuits, direct current and alternating current technologies. This degree requires 11 units of general education in addition to the CORE classes listed. These programs will give our students the competitive edge they will need to compete in today's technological world. For a complete listing of currently available classes go to Current Classes. Our instructors bring their diverse talents and real-world experience to the classroom teaching the fundamental knowledge and skills our students will need to remain competitive in this present computer and information era.
