This curriculum is designed to provide training for persons interested in the installation and maintenance of electrical systems found in residential, commercial, and industrial facilities.
Coursework, most of which is hands-on, will include such topics as AC/DC theory, basic wiring practices, programmable logic controllers, industrial motor controls, applications of the National Electric Code, and other subjects as local needs require.
Graduates should qualify for a variety of jobs in the electrical field as an on-the-job trainee or apprentice assisting in the layout, installation, and maintenance of electrical systems.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Electrical Systems Technology Program, the graduate should be able to:
- Interpret electrical prints, schematics, and diagrams.
- Identify National Electric Code requirements for electrical projects to ensure compliance.
- Construct the wiring system for residential and commercial projects.
- Troubleshoot and repair electric motors and controls.
