Programs of Study:

Electrical Engineering Technology:

This program prepares students to pursue a four-year Engineering Technology degree at universities such a Temple, Penn State (Harrisburg Campus), Rochester Institute of Technology. The Temple program can be completed at the LCCC campus.  This program requires calculus as the mathematics requirement.

Graduates of this program can also find employment in industry with the 2-year A.A.S degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. More Information...

Electrical Technology:

Students graduating from this program can expect to work as an electrical or electronics technician.  Courses offered in the Electrical Technology Program cover aspects of both areas.  Material covered includes Electronics courses such as Digital Fundamentals, AC Circuits, and Electronic Circuits; Electrical courses such as Residential Wiring, Commercial and Industrial Wiring and Electrical Maintenance.

Electronics Technology:

Many of the courses within the three different program options listed below are the same for the first year.  Variations are for the most part in the second year of the program where the specialty courses are offered.

Microcomputer Option:

If a student’s main interest is in microcomputers he/she should consider this option.  The microcomputers studied in this program are not the high end number crunching types but the control computers that are now part of many products.  These computers are the type that control the engine systems of cars, are part of digital cameras, found in all types of home appliances such as microwave ovens and clothes washers.

Microcomputers are also used in many industrial control systems. More Information...

Optoelectronics Option:

Optoelectronics is the study and application of electronic devices that interact with light, and thus is usually considered a sub-field of photonics. In this context, light often includes invisible forms of radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet and infrared. Optoelectronic devices are electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical transducers, or instruments that use such devices in their operation. More Information...    

Telecommunications Option:

The Telecommunications program provides a foundation in areas such as digital communications, fiber optics, microwaves, cellular telephone communications and satellite communications. More Information...

Nanofabrication Technology:

Nanotechnology involves the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter at a scale of 1 to 100 nanometers.  It can open pathways to well-paying careers in pharmaceuticals and biomedical applications, micro-electro mechanical devices (MEMS), opto-electronics, sensor devices, and microelectronics.

This program is offered in conjunction with Penn State University.  Three semesters of the program are at the community college and the fourth semester is at the nanofabrication facilities at Penn State’s University Park campus. More Information...

Industrial Automation:

Graduates of this program can expect to work in an industrial environment which utilizes automated manufacturing equipment.  Students will study a combination of electronics and mechanical courses.  The combination is important because mechanical assembly processes are controlled by electric devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
