It is the engineer's job to use scientific information in the creation of materials, machines, structures, and processes. An engineering education is demanding, but en- gineering is a rewarding profession and a. chal- lenging and satisfying 'career with many opportun- ities for advancement. Although some types of en- gineering are regional, there is a great demand for engineers all over the United States.

The need for in- dividuals with qualified backgrounds in electronic technological training is growing. In an effort to learn more about industrial elec- tronic applications, the electronic students tour many industries during the year. The student's preparation in the technical as- pects of electronics is founded in basic principles of electricity and developed through advanced cir- cuitry. Math, physics, business, and communica- tion courses further prepare the student for busi- ness and industry. Graduates of the electronics program find em- ployment as operations technicians, engineering technicians, la.boratory technicians, plant main- tainers, automatics test technicians, final computer tssts technicians, equipment installers, and sales and service representatives.
