First Year (Core) Electronics is a prerequisite to the CAST, CTEC, and TCOM specialties and constitutes the first two semesters for each of these programs. Students must commit to a specialty prior to entering the program and are eligible for admission to that specialty on successful completion of Core Electronics.
First Year (Core) Electronics is internationally articulated allowing transfers between UCC and other participating provincial, national, or international Electronics programs. On completion of UCC First Year (Core) Electronics, students may transfer to a specialty program in another institution. Space permitting, graduates of First Year (Core) Electronics from other institutions may enroll directly into one of the three UCC Electronics specialty programs CAST, CTEC, or TCOM.
The First Year (Core) Electronics program consists of courses delivering theory and labs covering technical communications, basic electricity, DC circuits, AC circuits, semi-conductor devices, semi-conductor circuits, linear circuits, digital electronics, 8-bit microprocessors, and an introduction to PC's.
First Year (Core) Electronics lab work emphasizes a hands-on approach and logical troubleshooting with a wide variety of test equipment.
