About the Program
 View the Electronics Program Webcast
The electronics industry offers a wide range of job opportunities installing and maintaining electronic equipment in manufacturing, research, development, medicine and communications. Communications, computers and industrial electronics continue to expand, and there is a high demand for technicians and engineering assistants.
Program outcomes state what a graduate needs to be able to do with the essential knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors acquired in a specific MATC program. The program outcomes communicate expectations to students, as well as other academic institutions and potential employers. The identification and assessment of program outcomes support MATC's efforts in documenting student learning and provide a context for the faculty's academic planning.
Application Process
You must meet Admissions Requirements (see below). To apply for the program, follow the admission procedures, including submitting the completed application, application/processing fees, and transcripts.
Admissions Requirements for All Applications Submitted for the Current Academic Year
High school course recommendations: We strongly recommend that students take the math sequence of Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 to best prepare them for this program. In addition, a high school physical science course is highly recommended. Students must earn a 2.0 (C) or better in the high school courses. Contact the Electronics program (academic) advisor at (608) 246-6800 for pre-registration advising.
The COMPASS test is required for all applicants. Advisement and course placement in English and mathematics is done based on COMPASS test results. Applicants can receive advanced standing for Applied Electronics Math 1 by scoring a 46 on the College Algebra section of the COMPASS test. Advanced placement for Applied Electronics Math 2 can be obtained by scoring a 46 in the Trigonometry section of the COMPASS test. Study guides, review material and sample questions for the COMPASS test are available online. Applicants are advised to view this material prior to taking the test.
