Electronics Technology at PCC

Finished student project: traffic-following self-driving car. LCD showing distance and speed readings. Ultrasonic sensor used with Arduino UNO. Learn these skills by taking Electronics Technology courses at Pasadena City College.

Using an oscilloscope to measure a digital PWM signal. This shows manual speed control of a small motor via a potentiometer. These are just some of the real lab skills students learn in our Electronics Technology classes. ELTN 130 Intro to Electronics include many lab activities that teach use of test and measurement equipment used in the lab enviornment. Students directly apply theoretical concepts learn to a variety of useful applications. ELTN 117 Intro to Embedded Design introduces students to the almighty microntroller. Learn the basics of writing code to program these powerful little devices to control sensors, motors, lights, etc. and build any project you can think of. You are limited only by your imagination.

Course Spotlight: ELTN 115 Intro to PCB Design Learn to go from breadboard prototype to custom printed circuit board (PCB) by signing up for ELTN 115 today! Use CRN 76934 to register.... PCB layout design using CAD software is easier than you think! This skill is in high demand among technology employers and most 4-year universities do not currently teach it in their engineering programs. Students enrolled in ELTN 115 will get free access to EAGLE software. All lab activities have been redesigned to be safely completed at home.
