Electronics
Electronics programs at North Seattle College prepare you for career paths in aviation electronics (avionics), electronics technology and electronics engineering, biomedical equipment technology, industrial power and control, IT-controlled electronics, and mechatronics.
Students build a strong foundation in electronics – starting with basic electricity and progressing to integrated circuits and electronic systems - while having the opportunity to specialize in their area of interest. You’ll find a supportive, hands-on learning environment designed to help you succeed.

Support our Electronics Students
Your generous donation directly supports students in the Electronics Technology and Electronics Engineering programs, helping them successfully complete their degrees and launch careers in this critical and growing industry.
Many of our students are balancing full-time jobs, family responsibilities, and academic demands. While committed to advancing their education and improving their future opportunities, a large number face financial barriers that put their academic goals at risk. Often, they fall just above the eligibility threshold for financial aid and are paying tuition and program costs out of pocket—quarter by quarter.
Your donation can make a meaningful difference. Funds raised go directly toward:
- Tutoring and academic support
- Essential lab equipment and materials
- Emergency financial assistance
- Celebrations and recognition for student achievements
- Professional development opportunities
- Industry certifications and exam fees
Graduates from these programs go on to work in vital technical roles in areas such as electronics engineering technician, engineering aide, fiber optics, electronics technicians, and much more. They contribute to innovation and infrastructure across a wide range of industries. We appreciate any donation that can be made towards program and student success.
