Why do so many Electronics Programs close due to low
enrollments? If Math and Science were electives,
would they ALSO have low enrollments? Of Course they would!
Core Electronics Classes (DC, AC, Analog, Digital) are advanced math and science intensive. DC and AC are actual last chapters inside
Physics Textbooks. Yet they are Introductory chapters inside Electronics Textbooks.
What to do?
Upgrade Electronics Programs Meaningful and… Relevant and… Exciting and… Realistic and… Rewarding and… In touch with Current products.
Train them for Careers not even invented yet!

We have a few systems such as senior year. We have a few systems such as robotics, microcontrollers, communications, robotics, microcontrollers, communications, fiber, soldering, solidworks, Labview, and a fiber, soldering, solidworks, Labview, and a couple certifications. But due to funding couple certifications. But due to funding limits, we’ll slowly be adding other systems limits, we’ll slowly be adding other systems within the coming years (hopefully). It may within the coming years (hopefully). It may take years to complete barring a miracle! take years to complete barring a miracle!

This could help Recruitment.
Why??Because students would learn how to setup test fixtures, measure, calibrate, and diagnose with a more meaningful electronic systems.
