It sounds like you're on the right track. If you can take a semiconductor
devices course at the right time that'd be good, but they're usually
3rd-year courses & may not be taught at community college.

Thanks for the advice, Tim. It looks like the solid state class might be
the same as your semiconductor devices course? From the course description:
"Analyzes characteristics of semiconductor devices and their application in
common electronic circuits. Covers construction of simple power supplies and
more complex amplifier circuits and regulators. Includes construction and
measurement of devices and circuit parameters to verify math analysis of
circuits designed."

That sounds like a match. Of course I can't answer for the quality of
the coursework compared to a Uni, but then it depends on which CC and
which Uni.

There are also classes in analog circuits and devices
and in digital circuits.

Take those, too.
