Associate of Applied Science
The Associate of Applied Science degree in Applied Electronics Technology is designed to meet rapidly changing needs of industry. This program is not intended to produce board-level technicians. Rather it is intended to give extremely broad technical instructions with practical work experience in partnership with industries which have entered into articulation agreements with Pulaski Technical College. Students receive no pay for the articulated internship, but tuition is reduced to cover administrative costs. Current technologies are bio-medical, communications, environmental controls, automated processes and others. The emphasis is on basics which are applicable to all industrial applications rather than specific applications. Specific training will be provided by employer.

Associate of Applied Science
The Associate of Applied Science in General Technology is a degree program with capabilities of providing companyspecific graduates for the private sector, expanded opportunities for military personnel and broader employment opportunities for other students. This degree will enable a student or an industry to design an individualized program of study to fulfill a unique career goal that cannot be met through the completion of any single technical certificate or specific A.A.S. degree program. Students may also use transfer credit or other non-traditional credit such as military training to meet the major and minor requirements. The student will select, with the approval of an advisor, courses from two or more different technical and academic disciplines and develop a coherent technical program having both a major technical focus and support courses directly related to the career objective. The A.A.S. degree will consist of 63 to 72 credit hours.

| Social Science Approved Course |
Major Technical Discipline (24 credit hours minimum)
Approved courses from a technical or other cohesive academic area must be the focus of the program, with the exception of the Allied Health and Human Services Division programs.
Minor/Related/Support Courses
The student will select one of the following options to complete the A.A.S. degree program of study.
1. Completion of two 12 credit hour minor areas of study. Minor areas may be any technical or cohesive area accepted by the college with the exception of the Allied Health and Human Services Division programs.
2. Completion of one 12-18 credit hour minor area of study and 6-12 credit hours of support or related courses for a total of 24 credit hours minimum. Minor areas may be any technical or cohesive area or general education courses accepted by the college with the exception of the Allied Health and Human Services Division programs.
3. Completion of a second 24 credit hour major. Minor areas may be any technical or cohesive academic area accepted by the college with the exception of the Allied Health and Human Services Division programs.
Students must meet all other degree requirements, including the 15 hour residency requirement. For military personnel, an ACE evaluation will be required. Industrial Equipment Technology
