Electronics Technicians are relied upon to ensure electronic components and systems operate as intended. Depending on the issue, electronic failures from overheating, stress, incorrect voltage, or other factors can be costly or even dangerous depending on the situation. Technicians are required to be thoroughly knowledgeable in their field and able to perform duties correctly and efficiently.
尽管如此,我们并不期望他们无所不知!技术人员经常需要研究制造商的技术手册,以排除故障和修理他们以前没有处理过的项目。因此,即使是从业时间较长的技术人员,也需要不断学习。
对于需要通过安全审查的技术人员来说,他们必须通过模范的个人行为来保持安全审查。这可能需要格外注意在社交媒体上发布信息、管理债务以及避免惹麻烦。
As with every technology-related industry, the field of electronics is changing and advancing. For starters, electronics are being incorporated into more and more products every year. From electric vehicles to wearable technology that connects to the Internet and the cloud, designers and manufacturers keep finding ways to enhance their goods with the help of electronic components. Indeed, the Internet of Things concept seeks to digitally connect all manner of objects via sensors and software — which should translate to plenty of electronic work opportunities for many years to come.
电子技术人员年轻时可能喜欢摆弄电子设备和小玩意儿,拆解它们看看里面有什么,同时参考书本或视频学习它们的操作方法。他们可能总是能自如地使用小型手动工具,沉浸在他们所专注的任何项目中。最有可能的是,他们比较有耐心,能够长时间保持专注,同时运用解决问题的技能,密切关注小细节。
- 电子技术员通常需要获得电气/电子技术理学副学士学位,但有些职位可能需要学士学位。
- Most electronics-related college programs are accredited by ABET
- Students can use ABET’s program search tool to find accredited programs. If the program you’re interested in isn’t listed, reach out to the school to double-check
- Note, ABET accreditation is voluntary. Not being ABET accredited doesn’t mean the program isn’t good quality. Still, accreditation offers proof that the program’s curriculum meets rigorous standards. Many large employers prefer (or are required) to hire graduates of ABET-approved programs
- 常见课程包括代数、物理、模拟和数字电子学、计算机编程语言、集成电路、工程学入门、数字设计、嵌入式微控制器和网络等。
- 一些工人通过电子学徒计划或入伍军训开始工作
