CIE's distance learning Broadcast Engineering course was designed to provide the specialized knowledge required for a career as a broadcast engineering technician at an AM or FM radio station or at a TV station. This course is also valuable for the cable television technician who must maintain and repair studio equipment.

Broadcast Engineering explores important theories and principles related specifically to broadcasting, but because it does not contain any laboratory work, it is best suited to those students who already have some previous education or practical experience in electronics.

What You Will Learn

Broadcast Engineering (course 2) starts with the basics of electronics and then moves on to more advanced topics that include:

AC and DC circuit theory.

Identifying components.

Working with printed circuit boards.

Systematic troubleshooting.

Antennas and wave propagation.

Audio signals in broadcast systems.

The television system.

Video tape and disk recorders

FM stereo.

Programmable controllers.

Digital data communications.

Fiber optics and more.

How Does The Program Work?

Broadcast Engineering contains 95 self-paced lessons. You can take your exams online with our e-grade site or simply mail them in to us. This program was created specifically for the distance learning student. Experience a step-by-step method of learning that allows you to complete each lesson at your own pace when it's convenient for you.

Earn an Accredited Diploma

Students graduate with a Nationally Accredited Diploma in Electronics and may continue their education with CIE and receive full academic and tuition credit that can be applied towards CIE's more advanced programs like courses 11, 14B, and the A.A.S. Degree Program. In fact, this course contains 20 credit hours towards CIE's accredited Associate Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology.

Study Guide for CET Exam

Broadcast Engineering also includes a study guide on how to prepare for the Associate-Level Certified Electronics Technician (CET) exam. This test is administered by the International Society of Certified Electronics Technicians and has over 46,000 certified technicians across the globe!
