Electronics II
Grade Placement: 11, 12 Full year
2 credits 2 periods / day
Prerequisite: Electronics I
Students who continue in the Electronics II Program acquire the ability to work with a variety of equipment and systems and become flexible to adjust to new technologies. The Electronics II Program emphasizes solid-state technologies with the prime objective to obtain a solid understanding of semiconductor devices including: diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, optoelectronic devices, and digital electronics. Electronic components help control massive industrial machines, building ships, automobiles, airplanes, and towering structures. Electronics rule the entertainment fields, converting a room of music, voice or drama to entertainment for the world. Electronic devices print and air the news, relay telephone calls, pace the heart, and guide rockets into space. Behind every electronics operation are the electronic's technicians who assist in design, installation, operation and maintenance of the electronics hardware. Included in this course are the introduction of high-tech communications, satellite communications and broadcast systems. Provisions are also made available to use your knowledge to repair your personal electronics equipment during "Open-Lab" periods. Upon completion of this Electronics Program, the student will have obtained many competencies and job entry skills as an apprentice in several electronic's fields, and/or will be better prepared to continue in a more advanced electronics curriculum or assist the student pursuing a career in electrical/electronics engineering. Completion Certificates are awarded by the North Dakota State Board for Career and Technical Education upon successful completion of this program, indicating 720 hours of training.
