Engineering and Industrial Technology: Electromechanical Controls technology

Associate of Applied Science Degree: Electromechanical Controls Technology (706.01)
Certificate: Electrical Wiring (942.01)
Career Studies: Controls (053.02)
Career Studies: Electrical Wiring (053.01)
Career Studies: Electrical Wiring for Technicians (053.03)

Controls
The career studies certificate plan in Controls prepares students to install, adjust, and troubleshoot industrial controls. With an Associate of Applied Science degree, students will be ready for a job as an industrial machine installer/repairer, electrical/electronic equipment repairer, office machine repairer, mechanical control and valve repairer, programmable controller installer and repairer, electrical and electronic equipment assembler, electromechanical systems repairer and an automated machinery maintenance mechanic.

Electrical Wiring
The career studies certificate plan in Electrical Wiring for Technicians provides the classroom training required by the state to sit for the electrician licensing exam. The career studies certificate plan in Electrical Wiring includes additional training in electrical theory and electrical power and motor controls.

The certificate in Electrical Wiring prepares students as electricians and helps those already employed to upgrade their skills and knowledge for advancement. The associate’s degree graduate can work as an electrician in industrial machine installation and repair, electrical/electronic equipment repair, mechanical control and valve repair, programmable controller installation and repair, electrical/ electronic equipment assembly, electromechanical systems repair, and automatic machinery maintenance.
