Idaho State University

"Idaho State University College of Technology gave me the technical knowledge to be able to understand how all aspects of electronics work and be able to step into about anything.  This knowledge goes from basic analog circuitry to advanced digital circuitry.  It also gave me a new direction and got me involved in an ever-changing and fast-paced workplace."

"The education I received at ISU's College of Technology gave me the ability to come into a newly created position and excel in AMI Semiconductor's Finance Department with no additional training needed on behalf of the company.  Working for a fast growing international technology company is an awesome experience; an experience that would not have been possible if it wasn't for my degree from the College of Technology."

"Eighteen years have passed since I graduated from ISU. To this day I consider my time at ISU invaluable. I believe a smaller university with more attention on the individual is critical to the success of today's businessperson. Larger institutions tend to be broad brush. In today's competitive environment, discipline in studies is even more critical. I believe ISU has solid programs to offer. Moreover the unique setting is an intricate piece of the learning process. It is an experience you will not forget."

"Idaho State University's College of Technology Electronics Department provided me the tools necessary to think analytically, to understand the theory, practical applications and the overall credentials required to seek an opportunity in a professional, meaningful and rewarding career.  As a long time friend of Idaho State and the College of Technology I can attest to the ongoing excellence in faculty, staff, administration and facilities ensuring you a quality, respected and marketable education."

"Idaho State University College of Technology gave me the hands-on skills needed to become successful as I entered the working world. In addition, while at the College of Technology, I had the opportunity to be involved with Business Professionals of America. This involvement allowed me to develop great public speaking and leadership skills, as well as solidify what I was learning in my classes through the Competitive Events Program; all skills that I will use for a lifetime. Idaho State University College of Technology set me on the path of success!"

"I have 36 years of experience in equipment and piping layouts (conceptual design through EPC) including design of advanced power facilities and the implementation of advanced CAD systems to the designing of these facilities. In my position I have been able to work on various projects and travel to Japan, Europe, and Russia."

"Since graduating in 1998 with a certificate in Legal Technology and Medical Technology as a non-traditional student, my life has done nothing but excel. My advisors encouraged me to do the best I could and then some. I was employed by the US Federal Courts before I could finish my Associates Degree, so I take a class each semester as work allows to continue my education. My current position is a Bankruptcy Case Administrator. My advice is, if you want a better paying job, get the best education you can at the ISU College of Technology and then utilize your knowledge."

"My education at ISU College of Technology played an important role in my professional career. ISU laid the cornerstone to help me achieve my goals."

"I've always been interested in mechanics so the Aircraft Maintenance Technology Program seemed like a good fit. The program did a great job preparing me for my current job as Crew Chief Assistant with Columbia Helicopter."

"I've always felt that experience is one of the best teachers in life. When I look back at the twenty-five years experience that I've obtained after my graduation from I.S.U. College of Technology, there are two things that are obvious to me. Number one: the training that I received from I.S.U. gave me a six to eight year head start in my field. Number two: my advancing rate has been much faster than others who didn't receive the education I received."

"The three-year Electronic Systems program at ISU gave me the skills and confidence to be successful at my job as a Field Support Technician at Tektronix. Tektronix recruited me from ISU almost three years ago. Since then I have enjoyed component level troubleshooting, repair, and calibration work on a variety of Tektronix Test & Measurement instruments including Video, Optical, and Oscilloscope products."
