Electrical and Electromechanical Technology

Welcome

Welcome to the SCC Electrical and Electromechanical Technology web page. The Southeast Community College Electrical Program was started in Milford in 1956 and the Electromechanical Program was added in 1976. Our program has served the construction and manufacturing industries for many years with highly trained graduates. These graduates have taken their place in the commercial and industrial environments.

Overview

Electrical Technology
Electrical students receive classroom instruction on many topics, including fundamental electrical principles, the National Electrical Code, residential, commercial and industrial wiring, repair and maintenance of electric motors and generators, variable speed drivers and digital control systems, predictive maintenance, programmable logic controllers, robotics, and communication systems, including fiber-optics, data communication and alarm systems. Approximately half of the training time will take place in a laboratory setting where students will apply classroom theory.New students are accepted in the summer and winter quarters. Graduates earn an associate of applied science degree and readily find positions in commercial, residential and industrial wiring, sales, repair and maintenance.

Electromechanical Technology
Electromechanical students focus on electrical principles, manufacturing processes, welding, electrical and mechanical repair of machinery, hydraulics, electric motors and generators, and many other components
and processes directly related to electromechanical technology. Through concentrated classroom and hands-on learning, students acquire the ability to construct circuits and do computer aided drafting of mechanical
components. Laboratories provide ample opportunity to apply classroom theory and specialized skills.

New students are accepted in the summer and winter quarters. Graduates earn an associate of applied science degree or diploma and readily find positions in business and industry as technicians, maintenance supervisors/engineers, and service representatives.

Double Degree Opportunity
Graduates from either program may choose to enhance their education by completing approximately 33 credit hours of additional training and receive a second A.A.S. degree.

Mission

Program Mission Statement: Electrical Program
The Electrical Technology program prepares the student for employment in residential, commercial or industrial wiring. This includes training for careers in public utilities, sales, maintenance, service and repair.

Program Goals:

• Provide the student with a safe learning environment, emphasizing good safety practices and neat lab work. Through videos, lectures and external training, students will learn the importance of on the job safety.
• Provide the students with state of the art equipment for current technological experiences.
• Provide the student with a strong background in the National Electrical Code and Industrial design to successfully prepare for the state Electrical Journeyman’s exam.
• Provide the student with a foundational knowledge to prepare them to be employed in industry to install, maintain, schedule and supervise in the area of robotics and industrial electronics.

Program Mission Statement: Electromechanical Program
The Electromechanical Technology program prepares the student to become employed as maintenance supervisors, machine repair technicians and service representatives. This includes training for careers in hydraulic, pneumatics, power transmissions and engineering assistants.

Program Goals:
