Video Overview of the Electronics Engineering Tech Program

Frank Herb, one of Lincoln Tech’s electronics instructors, walks us through the curriculum an EET student will experience at our Allentown campus. He starts with the basics; the theory of AC & DC circuits, Ohms law and the tools of the trade. Then the focus shifts to building a clean power source which the student will use to learn about and experiment with, micro-controllers and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) – these are the workhorses of industrial control that an EET graduate will program, maintain or repair in the industrial sectors they work in.

Mr. Herb then describes the progression of classwork to communications. Theory of AM/FM signals provides the student with a completely different experience with mathematics – it becomes “math with a purpose” when the student builds circuits, assembles fiber-optic devices and learn how to maintain network communications.

During the most recent reporting period, 9 out of 10 graduates from the Electronics Engineering Technology program in Pennsylvania got hired for the field after graduation.*** It’s time to get connected to an incredible new career, and Lincoln Tech’s Allentown campus – originally known as the Electronics Training Center – is the place to get the electronic engineering training you need to make it happen.
