Electronics - Minor

The Electronics minor gives students a basic knowledge in programming, circuits, digital design, electronic devices and control of systems. It also illustrates how digital combinational and sequential circuits work and provides students with some applications of these types of circuits. The minor complements studies in computer science, physics and instrumentation, as well as student interest in a general background on how computers work.

Minor in Electronics

Kent State University’s Minor in Electronics allows students to acquire basic applied knowledge of electronic components and their applications, and gain a basic understanding of how to use components to control processes.
