Program Details

Detailed information about this program

While each of the Electronics Modules (EMs) are based upon a separate section of the full Associate CET certification program, there are basic fundamental competencies that are covered and apply to all of the modules. A technician’s job may require only one EM; therefore, the same competency may appear in more than one EM certification. Additionally, most, if not all, of these competencies appear in the EM3 Analog Basics Study Guide chapters and or review pages.

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

  • Defective electronic components — diagnose and replace with reduced oversight using hand tools and precision instruments in a field or lab environment.
  • Specialized test equipment including signal generators and logic analyzers — configure and operate independently to evaluate the performance of electronic assemblies.
  • Wiring diagrams, schematic drawings, and engineering instructions — interpret without assistance to guide the assembly and modification of electronics systems.
  • Equipment malfunctions — isolate root causes using systematic troubleshooting methods and coordinate with manufacturers or field representatives to procure replacement parts.
  • Electronic prototypes and circuitry assemblies — build and test according to engineering instructions and technical manuals, adapting to minor design revisions.
  • Electrical engineering review checklists — apply to verify that completed assemblies conform to applicable codes, standards, and design specifications.
  • CAD and analytical software tools — use to review circuit layouts and record test data within an engineering department workflow.
  • Maintenance schedules for electronics equipment — manage independently, performing recurring inspections and preventive repairs to minimize system downtime.
  • Verbal and written technical reports — produce clearly to communicate test results, repair actions, and component status to engineers and supervisors.
  • Systems analysis techniques — employ to evaluate how component-level changes affect overall circuit or equipment performance in a mixed-technology environment.
