Associate of Applied Science in Electronic Engineering Technology - Applied Electronics

Engineering technicians use the principles and theories of science, engineering, and mathematics to solve technical problems in various industries. They may work with electrical machinery, electrical control equipment, and circuitry, computers, and other electrical components. Typical job titles include engineering assistant, electronic test technician, instrumentation technician, field service representative, communication specialist, and sales engineer.

The electronic engineering program provides you with an application-oriented, electronic/electrical background, extensive hands-on laboratory experience, and the use of standard and specialized test equipment. This fundamental knowledge and real-world experience will prepare you to work in a high-tech workplace in the challenging and rewarding field of electronics.

Tuition and Costs

How much does it cost to attend LCCC?

Many factors are considered when determining how much it costs to attend college.

When determining a student’s eligibility for financial aid, many factors are taken into account including enrollment status, residency status, dependency status, cost of attendance, etc. A student’s Cost of Attendance for financial aid determination includes directly billed expenses (tuition and fees) and “indirect” expenses for items such as books, supplies, transportation to and from campus, normal monthly household expenses and a small amount for personal expenses. These amounts are estimated per year at LCCC as:

• Tuition and Fees:
  • Lorain county resident: $134.04 per credit hour.
  • Out-of-county resident: $159.22 per credit hour.
  • Out-of-state resident: $310.79 per credit hour.
