Performance Component: Semiconductor Testing (15%); Soldering/De-soldering (24%); Meter Usage (16%); Circuit Construction (13%); Oscilloscope Usage (13%); Troubleshooting (11%); and Gate Substitution (8%).

Instruction: 

NOCTI and NBS exams assess individuals' end-of-program knowledge and skills in an online proctored proficiency examination format. In addition, some programs administer a NOCTI/NBS performance component test to assess application of skills.

Credit recommendation: 

In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in Industrial Electronics (11/13) (11/18 revalidation). NOTE: An additional 1-2 credits may be awarded based on successful completion of the Performance Component when given in conjunction with the written proficiency examination.
