Engineering and Industrial Technology: Electrical Wiring

• Career Studies: Electrical Wiring For Technicians (053.03)
• Certificate: Electrical Wiring (942.01)
• Associate In Applied Science Degree: Electromechanical Controls Technology (706.01)

  The career studies program Electrical Wiring for Technicians provides the classroom training required by the state to sit for the electrician licensing exam. Career studies in Electrical Wiring includes additional training in electrical theory and electrical power and motor controls. Career studies in Electrical Controls prepare students to install and maintain industrial control equipment.

  The one-year 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.

  In addition to the college's general admission requirements, students are required to complete Entering Student Assessment (placement) tests in reading, composition, and mathematics. The college has a required developmental program for students who need to remedy deficiencies in these areas.

  Students may include related work experience as part of their education. The college's cooperative education program allows you to earn income while gaining work experience and academic credit.

  The career studies and certificate programs can be completed in two semesters. The associate's degree takes four semesters of full-time study.
