Certificate programs in drafting technology or welding and fabrication provide training for individuals seeking employment in construction, maintenance, repair and fabrication fields, or within architect, utilities and engineering firms. The electronics program offers students the option of the two-year associate of technical science degree that provides training for maintenance electricians and electronics technicians within industrial facilities as well as advanced-level training for plant electricians and other employees seeking to improve their work classification within their company. The industrial technology-aerospace electronics associate of technical science (ATS) degree and one-year aerospace electronics technician certificate program provide a broad foundation in electronics training. Each program of study has specific requirements and varying time frames in which the courses must be completed.

2 69 Aerospace Electronics (Industrial Technology - Aerospace Electronics) Associate of Technical Science Degree Aerospace Electronics Technician Certificate Significant increases in employment are expected in the aerospace industry, as well as a need for more workers with aviationrelated skills. WVC is part of the Air Washington consortium and will train electronics workers for manufacturing and servicing of electronic components and equipment. The industrial technology-aerospace electronics associate of technical science (ATS) degree and one-year aerospace electronics technician certificate program provide a broad foundation in electronics training. Instruction emphasizes a hands-on approach, use of sophisticated test equipment, and a solid base of information concerning the hardware and software of control systems for technical applications. These programs offer preparation for multiple nationally recognized industry certifications that may lead to employment and opportunities for future advancements with companies specializing in manufacturing or servicing all types of electronic equipment, including manufacturing and servicing of aerospace electronics.

3 70 Drafting Technology (Industrial Technology - Drafting) Certificate of Completion The Wenatchee Valley College Drafting Technology certificate program provides training for individuals seeking employment as drafting technicians for architects, construction companies, contractors, utilities and engineering firms. Before entering the drafting technology program, students are strongly advised to complete one year of high school algebra or its equivalent. Keyboarding and computer literacy are recommended. Course work in basic drawing or drafting such as ENGR 102 Engineering Graphics* is also beneficial and recommended before entering the program. For more industrial technology program options see pages 68 through 72 of the catalog. Program Course Sequence This certificate program is not eligible for financial aid.

4 71 Industrial Technology - Electronics Associate of Technical Science Degree Electronics Technician Certificate of Accomplishment The industrial technology - electronics program provides training for maintenance electricians and electronics technicians within industrial facilities such as wood processing plants, agricultural food storage and processing warehouses, manufacturing plants and hydroelectric power facilities. It also provides advanced-level training and skill improvement for plant electricians and other employees seeking to improve their work classification within their company on modern electronic circuits, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and control systems. Before entering the industrial technology - electronics program, you are strongly advised to complete one year of high school algebra or its equivalent. Prior to entry into the program, documentation of computer literacy, or BCT 105 Computer Applications, or instructor permission is required. A current first aid card with CPR is required upon graduation. Coursework in computers and basic electricity/electronics is also beneficial prior to entering the program. If you are planning additional education beyond the WVC associate of technical science (ATS) degree, work closely with your program adviser as some electronics coursework may be transferable, and you may want to consider taking English 101 and Math 105 as part of your ATS degree. To be eligible for the degree, students must earn at least a cumulative 2.0 grade point average. Core program courses may have prerequisite requirements. English and mathematics courses require qualifying assessment scores or acceptable preparatory coursework in those subjects. See the course description for details. If you complete the industrial technology - electronics ATS degree, you can earn electrical hours toward the Washington State Labor and Industry (07) Nonresidential Maintenance Specialty Electrical License.
