Program Description
The purpose of this program is to provide a basic core of specialized instruction and practical shop experience to prepare students for employment in electrical trades.
Students who complete the basic core may choose any of the specialty areas. Specialty areas prepare the graduate as an Industrial Electrician, Marine Electrician, or Commercial Electrician.
The Industrial Electrician course will prepare individuals to install, troubleshoot, and repair wiring, electrical equipment, and other electrical devices used in the industrial environment, such as motors (AC and DC drives), transformers, control systems, instruments, PLC's, and lighting systems.
