In some cases,programs have been discontinued entirely due to a persistent lack of students. In essence, thebasic core mission of the legacy electronics technology program, to produce “electronicstechnicians”, has been morphing into a hybrid educational endeavor. This fact is being driven bythe increasing use of complex electronic systems and sophisticated
