Electrical Engineering Technology

6 quarter AAS

This program offers a combinations of hands-on, hybrid, and online courses. See course descriptions for more information.

Program Description:

Engineering Technology professionals apply mathematical and science principles to develop solutions concerning residential, commercial, and industrial constructions according to the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC). The program covers wiring methods, wiring materials, conductors, overcurrent protection devices, branch circuits, feeders, transformers, electrical services, special location installations, grounding, and renewable energy. Students prepare for careers in electrical code applications, code calculations, and interior/exterior designs. Instruction covers most phases of electrical engineering including Autodesk software designs using Building Information Model (BIM) and parametric engineering models of mechanical, engineering, and plumbing (MEP) employed in modern building construction.
