AS in Electronics Engineering

Electronics engineering is a field closely related to electrical engineering. An associate’s degree in either field has many of these same classes, which work to give students a foundation in math and science. If your degree is specifically in electronics engineer, you’ll also take beginner classes on the components of equipment using electrical power. Some associate’s degree programs also require students to take classes covering general liberal arts topics like writing, in order to give you a more complete education. Every program is different.

With a degree in this field, you’ll be qualified to work in a number of positions. Some of the many industries open to electronics engineers include entertainment, computer sciences, transportation, and construction. Each branch of the military also uses electronics engineers, and many engineering consultant companies hire electronics engineers to assist on their comprehensive engineering teams.

One of the main reasons to purchase an Associate of Science (AS) degree over a bachelor’s degree or master’s degree is the ability to start working in the electronics engineering field quickly. You can have your degree in under two years, and although you won’t qualify for the top positions in this field, the general knowledge you’ll get with an AS in electronics engineering can help you start working in any entry-level job in this field.

You can always choose to go back to school at a later date. Most bachelor’s degree programs will transfer your AS credits, so you aren’t starting from scratch. Some employers will even help you pay for the tuition to go back to school. Online options are great for students in all types of electronics engineering programs, and can be especially helpful if you’re interested in changing your career field and want a quick introduction to electronics in a flexible environment.
