Industrial Electronics Technology

The Industrial Electronics Technology program is ideal for students interested in pursuing careers working with the latest electronic, computer and control technologies. This challenging program provides and exceptionally strong foundation in electronics theory supported by extensive hands-on experience through accompanying labs. Topics include amplifier and digital circuitry, programmable logic, microprocessors, instrumentation, simulation, troubleshooting and industrial automation. Real world theory and applications are emphasized throughout the program.

The Associate in Applied Science in Industrial Electronics Technology serves as the major preparatory program for the Bachelor of Science in Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology. The IET degree can also be used to ladder into other Bachelor degrees at Ferris State.

Prepare for a Great Career
Aerospace, commercial, consumer, industrial, medical, security, and transportation technologies depend on electronic systems. The operation, implementation, and design of these require knowledgeable technicians and technologists. Industrial Electronics Technology graduates are employed in the design, testing, installation, and troubleshooting of industrial process control systems, robotics devices, communications systems and sophisticated instrumentation. Most qualifying graduates, however, choose to optimize their career opportunities by advancing into the Bachelor of Science in Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology program.

Admission Requirements
Admission to the College of Technology is open to high school graduates who demonstrate academic preparedness, maturity and seriousness of purpose with backgrounds appropriate to their chosen program of studies.

Admission requires a high school diploma or equivalent, two years of mathematics including algebra and trigonometry and a minimum ACT math score of 19. A laboratory science, preferably physics, and fundamental knowledge of personal computers are strongly recommended.

Graduation Requirements
The Industrial Electronics Technology program at Ferris leads to an associate in applied science degree. Graduation requires a minimum 2.0 GPA in core classes, in the major and overall. Students must complete all general education requirements as outlined on the General Education website.

The Industrial Electronics Technology program provides the skills and knowledge required by today¡¯s high-tech industries. Options are available for students who are interested in robotics, programmable logic controls, instrumentation and process control devices, and wireless communication. Students also learn about programming languages that focus on network-supported industrial applications integrated into wide area networks and local area networks. The Wallace program offers preparation for several industrial certifications.

Students can pursue an associate in applied science degree or short certificate in Industrial Electronics Technology. Students completing the general education core requirements, the Industrial Electronics Technology core requirements, and course requirements in the chosen area of concentration will receive an associate in applied science degree.

Students with prior electronics experience may pursue a short certificate in specific areas. The short certificate in the Industrial Networking Technologies option is for professionals desiring to update their certifications or learn the latest networking technologies in areas such as PC maintenance, LAN and WAN design, and wireless devices configuration. The Industrial Process and Control option is for those seeking additional instruction in PLCs, robotics, instrumentation operation and calibration, hydraulics, pneumatics, microprocessors, and digital circuits.

Admission is conditional and depends on the student¡¯s ability to perform the essential functions identified for this program. Reasonable accommodations are considered.
