Technology is central to the economy of the 21st century, and the demand for skilled technicians continues to increase steadily. Knowledge and skills in electronics are essential for those seeking careers in manufacturing, service, and technical sales and support.
The Biomedical Instrumentation Option, in addition to providing a sound background in analog and digital electronics, requires students to take courses in anatomy and physiology and a cooperative work experience. This prepares the student to enter the workforce as an essential member of a medical organization, working with the electronic instrumentation equipment that is critical to today’s high-tech health-care industry. Students may also continue their education by pursuing a bachelor’s degree at a 4-year institution.
