Students are trained to troubleshoot, <br />maintain and repair electronic based medical equipment. The <br />educational program objectives are as follows: <br />1. Obtain entry-level employment in fields related to <br />medical equipment repair or maintenance. <br />2. Effectively function as a team member in technical <br />environments. <br />STUDENT OUTCOMES <br />The student outcomes of the Biomedical Technology Diploma are <br />for its graduates to attain the following: <br />a. Knowledge and understanding of fundamental <br />electronic components and basic electronic circuitry. <br />b. A general understanding of medical equipment and the <br />contexts In which they are used. <br />C. An ability to identify, diagnose and troubleshoot <br />electronic based devices. <br />d. An ability to use techniques, skills and modern <br />technical tools to repair medical equipment. <br />e. An ability to function as team members In a technical <br />environment. <br />MODE OF PROGRAM DELIVERY <br />This program is delivered in either a residential or a distance <br />learning modality. Students decide which modality to complete <br />the program at the time of enrollment contingent on program <br />availability. When delivered in a residential modality, courses are <br />delivered primarily at the campus with some courses having an <br />asynchronous didactic learning component integrated into the <br />curriculum (I.e. online materials to support the courses residential <br />delivery).
