Associate in Applied Science Degree - ELTR.AAS.C39
The Electrical Technology program prepares students to construct, install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair electrical circuits and systems. Basic knowledge, fundamental skills and industry standards will be emphasized as students learn to work in the field of electrical technology. All degree-seeking students in this program take the same common core of freshman-level courses; however, three specializations are offered for students to develop skills in a specific area of interest. The three specialization tracks are: Industrial Electrical Technology, Industrial Machinery Maintenance, and Renewable Energy Technology. Students will be required to purchase a minimum set of components and/or tools in some courses. Electrical Technology graduates are generally prepared to enter electrical technology programs at selected colleges and universities with junior status.
