1 Catalog Page 1 hysics and Electronics PDirector Dr. Juan C. Cersósimo HISTORY AND OBJECTIVES The Department began its functions in It offers a Bachelor s Degree in Science with a Major in Applied Physics (electronics), and an Associate Degree in Electronics Technology. These two programs focus primarily on the preparation of students to satisfy the local employment demands of the electronics industry. Most of the courses are designed to help the students learn specific instrumentation use, techniques, and processes common to that industry. In this way, our graduates are able to work successfully in industry and other technical institutions in the area. ACADEMIC PROGRAMS The Associate Degree Program in Electronic Technology is a two-year program for students who desire to work after a short period of study. It develops in students a positive attitude towards the analytical processes that lead to problem solving and broadens their technological, scientific, and humanistic knowledge. Our graduates are also prepared to establish their own businesses as providers of troubleshooting and maintenance services in the electrical and electronics areas. The Bachelor s Degree Program in Applied Physics (Electronics) combines two branches of knowledge: Physics, the most fundamental of sciences, and electronics, one of the bases of industrial development. It produces professionals capable of working creatively in product design, manufacture, and quality control, or conducting applied research. They can also continue graduate studies in science and engineering. This program provides the following: general basic knowledge, a solid preparation in mathematics, ample knowledge in basic, intermediate, and modern physics, broad exposure to electric circuits, electronics, microprocessors, industrial electronics and controls. Our students also acquire laboratory experience, training in undergraduate research and do extensive work in computing, programming and use of application software.
