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.
