3 Skill Sets To Become A Great Electronic Tech

[@matthewjackson9615]

Something that I've noticed about electronic technicians is that they have varying skill levels. I've seen technicians that follow step by step troubleshooting protocols straight out of a guide book to those that have a full mastery and understanding of electrical theory comparable to someone with an advanced degree in electrical engineering. What makes a good electronic technician ? It depends on talent, skill, training, experience and the level of education they possess. Of course, this applies to any field.

[@electronictech785]

You are correct, there are so many things that a textbook and teach except experience and there are so many types of electronic techs. We come in all shapes and sizes. lol

[@gassanali8667]

Great advice! [1] Poblem solving mindset [2] Knowledge of the trade [3] Keep learning to stay upto date Thank you! Can't wait to see the next video. You're a great teacher!

I have been retired after 20 years as an electronics tech. It was the the best time of my life. I was mostly self taught as the community colleges were so far behind the curve in electronics when I started. They mostly wanted to teach vacuum tubes but that was old tech that was fading away and I wanted to learn semiconductors. I could have taught a good course in electronics and troubleshooting at the time I retired that would have been a real benefit to many. I bought every book that I thought would be helpful and they helped but the books in the college book store were very lacking. I learned everything that I could from the senior techs I worked with and some of the most electronically knowledgeable of them weren't as good at trouble shooting as I became. The technology is always changing and it's tough to keep up with the advancements too. I don't know how I would proceed if I had to start over from scratch. I miss working in electronics but I have to be content with the career that I had. Thanks for the videos that you have posted.

You are not only smart but also kind, not hiding anything, like and learn from your teaching.thanks.

PASSION IS KEY!

[@beeforsalad007]

I've only just joined the electronics tech world at 25 and am felling slightly dejected because I have been putting in allot of study and effort to understand even the basics like, analog circuits, studying a course right now and am struggling mostly when it comes to a write up during fault finding exams. Are there any tips for a person starting out in electronics that some of you pro's may have wished you knew sooner? I'm simply hungry to learn and not fail again during exams, because it seams that no matter how much study I put in, it's not enough for my instructors.

[@ahmadpcgaming]

It’s hard. That’s the truth. I just got my AAS in EET. I had to cheat plenty of times. I had to take a D plenty of times. I just got hired as a Wet assembly test technician for 28$ an hour. I don’t know what the job is, BUT I know that the training I’ll receive will be enough for me to understand what to do.

[@greysonbennett6788]

@@ahmadpcgaming same tbh Im getting paid around 33$ an hour and I have no clue what I'm supposed to do as an ET I formerly come from an IT background.

[@Isaac9pd]

@@ahmadpcgaming Do you apply everything you learned in the electronics program? I got my associates but I forgot a ton of the stuff so I’ve been studying through my textbooks and also building circuits to refresh my mind again. But not sure if out in the work force you apply everything you learned in the electronics program at school

[@ahmadpcgaming]

@@Isaac9pd Not at all! Honest to god I use maybe 5% of it. Everything is on the job training. I’m at $31 an hour now as an “Manufacturing Test Technician”.

Hmm.. I'm considering taking a tech role. I've worked as an engineer before but in my city engineer roles tend to have high expectations. So I'll give tech a go

Are there any online certifications that will help getting into this field cause I keep seeing electrician and I'm not trying to do that.

Hello sir, I am working as electronic technician for 5 years now, and assembly for 5 year. i am really good at rework, prototype and any kind of soldering, chang parts, I can test the board by instructions, but i ready want to know more about using test equipment and troubleshot the the circuit board, good at reading the schematic. And now I am in school for electronic engineering. I am taking prerequisite part time working full time, I only have about one year left before I transfer to UW. But i fell bad and how can learn to get good at my technician before i become to engineering. Please help and guys me. Thanks !

[@friedmule5403]

Great video, thanks for sharing! :-) Some say "follow the money" but as a technician, could you not say "follow the power"? What I mean is go from power in and further. Or follow audio in or whatever goes in and end in out. Unless of cause it's obvious that the out is damaged.

[@electronictech785]

You are correct. If you are troubleshooting, its always best to see if you are getting an input and if you are, then check to see if you are getting an output. That applies to circuits, ICs, and components.
