Courses* taken by our Electrical Technology students include:

Electrical Conduit Bending

This course is a study of how to properly calculate, layout, and bend Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) and Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC) per industry and National Electrical Code standards. This course utilizes both hand bending tools and the use of mechanical and machine-type bending equipment. A grade of “C” or better is required to earn credit for this course.

Commercial and Industrial Wiring

This course covers the theory and application of electrical buildings inclusive of general wiring, electrical systems, alternating current motors, transformers, lighting systems and load calculations, all in adherence to the requirements of the National Electrical Code. A grade of “C” or better is required to earn credit for this course.

Programmable Logic Controllers/Industrial Electronics

This course presents basic concepts and applications of PLCs such as the PLC language, performing installation and diagnostic functions, using program tools, basic communications, and logic operations. The practical instruction of this course is performed with Allen Bradley equipment and RSLogix software, both of which are predominantly used within the manufacturing industry. A grade of “C” or better is required to earn credit for this course.
