The Capitol Radio Engineering Institute Home Study Program
|
|
Capitol Radio Engineering Institute (CREI) was a major player in the home study industry, having been established in 1927 at the beginning of the rapidly growing field of electronics. As computers came on the scene, CREI changed its name to Capitol Institute of Technology in order to diversify its training. Now known as Capitol Technology University, curriculums through doctorate level are offered for astronautics and aeronautics, electronics, computers, robotics, software, cybersecurity, and other high tech arenas. I like their motto: "It's 2023. Every job is a technology job." In 1963 when this four-page spread appeared in Radio−Electronics magazine, the world's superpowers (primarily the U.S. and U.S.S.R.) were deep into the Space Race, seeking to establish dominance and superiority in the realms of manned spaceflight and satellite deployment. The effort really took off (pun intended) in the mid-to-late 1950s during the International Geographical Year (IGY) efforts by a consortium of countries to learn as much as possible about the Earth's upper atmosphere and outer space. As with aeronautics and aircraft flight, the public was enthralled with the concepts of space flight and technology. The Capitol Radio Engineering Institute Home Study Program
Turn page for Answer CREI What happens to transistors in the Van Allen Belt? How are vacuum tubes used in space? Why can't regular lubricants be used on moving parts in a spacecraft? To what extent has the space effort changed reliability standards? The answers to these questions reflect the changes taking place with space applications of electronics. For space electronics involves new and different uses of electronic principles. Conventional systems and components are frequently outdated. Technical breakthroughs come almost daily. Space electronics is as different from the electronics you know as the superheterodyne receiver is from the crystal set. What Does This Change Mean to You? It means specialized knowledge of space electronics is essential for a career in this field. Nearly every major electronics organization and a good many of the smaller companies have become part of the space program. Guiding space vehicles, communicating with them through space and processing the vital information they gather demands knowledge that did not exist when you studied electronics. And this knowledge can't be acquired on the job, unless you are one of the few men privileged to work for a key space engineer or scientist. Developments in space electronics are affecting almost every area of electronics. For instance, the same techniques used in the space program are used in electronic packaging to reduce computers and television sets to a much smaller size. So knowledge of space electronics is an asset to a man in any field of electronics. No question about it, for your career in electronics, you must supplement your present knowledge and experience with considerable new knowledge of space electronics.
CREI now offers a new Home Study Program planned to help you protect your future in electronics by updating your education to space age requirements. CREI's Program in Space Electronics enables you to study at home, on your own schedule through methods developed in CREI's 36 years of experience in technical education through home study. Long and painstaking effort has been devoted to the preparation of this program. CREI faculty members have visited 14 government and private technical organizations in the space effort to determine exactly what knowledge of electronics they want in men they employ. Engineers and scientists from some of these organizations have been retained as consultants to supply the technical material that makes up the program. Photographs Courtesy of National Aeronautics & Space Administration CREI Announces a Unique Home Study Program in Space Electronic Engineering Technology with your choice of these specialties Space Data Systems Includes analog and digital computers, information theory, data acquisition and processing. Space Tracking Systems Includes microelectronics, space propagation, masers, lasers, infrared techniques. Spacecraft Guidance and Control Includes inertial navigation, space radar, star tracker systems, tracking networks. • The first educational program developed specifically to help electronics men apply their experience to the space effort. • Content of program developed to meet employment requirements as determined by consulting government and private organizations in the space field. • Text material prepared with the help of engineers and scientists holding key positions in leading space-oriented organizations. (Names on request.) You study exactly the material technical organizations in the space effort want their employees to know. You Are Eligible for This Program if You Work in Electronics and Have a High School Education. Free Book Gives Full Information.
