Associate of Science in Electronics Technology
The Associate of Science in Electronics Technology (ASET) is a 97.5-credit hour program that is offered on the Colorado Springs campus. The program is comprised of 60.5 credit hours of general education courses and 37 credit hours devoted to the electronics technology core. If necessary, a student may be required to take 4 credit hours of preparatory work in C++.
The program is designed to help students build the knowledge to think like an engineer—to develop logical thinking and critical analysis skills and improve decision-making skills. Students are encouraged to develop skills that are transferable to many industries such as problem solving, decision making, innovation, project management, collaboration and communication. The ASET degree is designed to help students develop knowledge of analog and digital electronics, skills that are needed in commercial enterprises such as integrated circuit (IC) companies and telecommunications firms.
The curriculum of this program aligns to the first two years of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
This program does not lead to additional licensure or certification. As such, CTU has made no determination regarding prerequisites for licensure or certification in any state or jurisdiction.
