Rigorous programs lead to plentiful, high-paying jobs

Article Abstract:

The use of state-of-the-art technology and sophisticated software has made electrical and electronics education simpler, enabling schools to introduce various programs to prepare students for the lucrative jobs available in the electronics industry. John Borris, Chair of industrial technology, St. Clair County Community College, uses simulation software in the two-year associated degree program offered by his college. David Craig of Campbell County High School uses a computer aided package in his courses, which saves him both time and money. However, before designing a program, schools should look into the availability of jobs, the required staff and should maintain the quality of the syllabus and the software used in the program.

Spotlight on technology

Article Abstract:

The popularity of robotics in major industries such as automobile manufacturing due to the technical advantages of robots over human beings and their cost effectiveness has prompted many technical, post secondary and high schools to start programs on robotics despite their high expenses. Option 2000 is one such program for middle and secondary schools, while the Southeastern Technical High School in Baltimore, MD, uses a computer integrated management program designed by Amatrol. The California State University at Los Angeles offers a degree in production technology.
