The following courses are required in addition to the completion of either the Advanced Technical Certificate or the Associate of Applied Science degree for a certificate under the Electronic Systems Technology Program:
ELSY 331 Laser Systems/Optics Theory 4 cr ELSY 332 Laser Systems/Optics Laboratory 4 cr TOTAL: 8 crThe courses listed above will be taught in sequential blocks of instruction. Successful completion of a course is required before the student can progress in the program. If the student fails any math, theory, or lab course, then that course must be repeated and a passing grade obtained before the student can advance in the program. The student must exit the program and make up their deficiency through Technical General Education or other appropriate methods. The student will then be allowed to repeat the course at the next available program opening.
Once a student successfully completes Electronics (ELTR) 141, Applied Mathematics I, and ELTR 142, Applied Mathematics II, the student may enroll directly into an academic math course which requires Math 147 as a prerequisite. Students will receive five credits that apply towards the 128 credits required for a bachelor's degree.
Courses
Official articulation agreements have been established with other Idaho post-secondary and secondary schools. Where these agreements exist, the specific block of training (i.e., session/semester/year) will be accepted as equivalent to that at ISU and will count equally toward graduation.
