Electrical and Control Technology, Certificate of Proficiency

The Certificate of Proficiency in Electrical and Control Technology prepares technicians and technologists to troubleshoot, wire, repair, adapt, install, and maintain electrical and industrial motor control equipment found in many local industries. Knowledge and experience are gained through theory and engaging “hands on” labs that prepare graduates to work safely around industrial and commercial electrical equipment. Electrical DC and AC theory, transformers, circuits, wiring, motors, motor controls, relay logic, logic gates, and the National Electrical Code for commercial and industrial systems is emphasized. Skills are developed in troubleshooting, testing, and analyzing electrical circuits. This is the first employable step in the exciting career path of working with electrically automated equipment.
