Program Description
The Simulator Technology program at Lake Region State College is one of the few training programs for simulator technicians in the United States. The program provides hands-on training in computer systems, digital and solid-state electronic devices, printed circuit troubleshooting, and a variety of other systems essential to the operation of state-of-the-art simulators.
Students learn to use specialized tools, test equipment, built-in diagnostic equipment, and technical data to isolate and locate faulty components or system malfunctions. While in the program students will gain experience in electronics, flight characteristics, and computers.
