Introduction:
ELectronics Technology
The Electronics Technology Program at Mountain View College (MVC) prepares students
as entry level electronic technicians. Students enrolled in the program have a variety
of program options including networking (Microsoft or Cisco), computer maintenance
and repair, and industrial electronics.
Facilities and Faculty
The Electronics Technology Program has two state of the art electonic labs. One lab is primarily for industrial electronics
while the other is a general purpose lab. The general purpose lab has been updated with all new equipment.
Classes are limited
in size (10-12 students) so that students can get individual attention from the instructor. All instructors in the electronics program have advanced degrees
with many years teaching and working experience.
Job Opportunities:
The job opportunities in the electronics fields have grown considerably in
the last few years. There are many companies in the DFW area that employ graduates
from the MVC Electronics Technology Program including companies such as TU Electric,
Southwestern Bell, and Texas Instruments. Many companies that employ electronic technicians are facing
the "graying" of their workforce and are in need of replacements so the
demand for technicians should be good for the foreseeable future. (Access the Bureau
of Labor Statistics)
