Electronic Assembly and Fabrication

Program Overview

The Electronic Assembly and Fabrication Certificate prepares students for entry-level roles as assembly and fabrication technicians in the electronics industry. The program covers assembly, soldering, fabrication, and electronic fundamentals, culminating in IPC7711/IPC7721 certification for surface mount technology (SMT) rework and repair. Recertification is required every two years, with a prep course available.

Program Outline

Outline:

Program Content:

• The Electronic Assembly and Fabrication Certificate is designed to prepare students to enter the electronics field as assembly and fabrication technicians.
• The program focuses on assembly, soldering/de-soldering skills, and fabrication for both through-hole and surface mount devices (SMD).
• It includes skills for various types of cabling and connections.
• The program provides an introduction to electronic fundamentals, covering test instruments, basic electrical measurements, color-codes, schematic symbols, device outlines, etc.
• Complete surface mount technology (SMT) skills are taught, culminating in the IPC7711/IPC7721 rework and repair of electronic assemblies certification.

Other:

• Recertification: Recertification for the IPC7711/IPC7721 rework and repair of electronic assemblies certification is required every two years.
• Preparation for Recertification: ELEC 63 is a prep course for the recertification.
• Program Learning Outcomes:
• Students will design, fabricate, and populate a through-hole circuit board.
• Vocational Studies: Continuing Education classes, also known as “Noncredit,” are financially supported by the state of California and are offered tuition-free.
Noncredit classes are designed to provide students with a high-quality learning experience with the opportunity to gain new skills and embark on new career pathways.
• Noncredit Programs: Mt.
SAC offers Adult Basic Education (ABE), Education for Older Adults (EOA), English as a Second Language (ESL), Short-Term Vocational (STV), Vocational Re-Entry (VRE), and IMPACT/Adults with Disabilities (AWD).
