This program is designed to prepare you for the many career opportunities
in the electrical industry. A thorough treatment of DC, AC, and
polyphase electric circuits and solid state power devices minimizes the
possibility of technological obsolescence. Motor controls and programmable
controllers let you design and build control systems. The electrical
installation courses use the latest techniques according to the National
Electrical Code. The electrical code and fire alarm classes are especially
useful as preparation for state license and NICET certification examinations.
This program is excellent for electricians, engineers, firefigthers,
building department inspectors, and maintenance personnel. This program
uses an extensive lab environment for important hands-on experience
in electrical classes. Please see a construction ttechnology advisor
