Welcome to the Computers & Electronics program at the WMCTC:

Students will have the opportunity to become proficient in computer technician skills and receive a certification to that effect.  A+ certification is an internationally recognized validation of the knowledge, as well as the technical and customer satisfaction skills, required of an entry-level computer technician.  A+ Certification is the industry-wide standard for measuring benchmark level,  vendor-neutral technical skills expected of a technician with six months on-the-job experience.  Second year students will have an opportunity to venture into different areas of pursuit.  Those interested in strictly electronics will focus on the Electronics Pathway and work-ready AC, DC and digital electronics, and the theory and practical skills that accompany it.  Other students may pursue more of an Informational Technology pathway that may include Networking and Home Technology Integration, which also provides certification. The goal of this two-year course is to provide information technology and electronics engineering students with the basic electronic, hardware, software, and networking skills necessary to be successful in a variety of entry level IT and engineering positions. 

The Computers & Electronics Field:

The 21st century brings with it a huge demand for technically proficient specialists. These specialists need technical expertise to design, implement, and support the technology that exists in the modern home and office.   Students in Computers & Electronic Systems Integration program will combine classroom training with in-class projects utilizing up-to-date hardware and software.

Student Organizations/Community Enrichment:

Students have the opportunity to be involved in Business Professionals of America (BPA) which is a national career and technical student organization consisting of 23 state associations and more than 54,000 members.  Students may elect to compete in specific areas of expertise at the regional, state and national level.
