The Industrial Electricity/Electronics Diploma program emphasizes theory and hands-on training in electrical wiring, including the applications to residential, commercial and industrial installations. Although basic installation of electrical components is an important part of the technician’s job, increased emphasis has been placed on wiring and programming of programmable logic controllers. Entry-level positions for graduates are available with local electrical contractors, industrial plants, hospitals, power companies, government agencies and other related businesses.
Students are required to purchase a set of small hand tools at an approximate cost of $50.
Courses taken in this program may be applied toward the AOT degree program if the student later elects to pursue the degree.
