The Electrical Technology program has been designed to emphasize practical applications of the theory of AC and DC electricity. Courses in specialized areas concentrate on the generation and distribution of electric power as well as the theory of rotating electromechanical equipment. Approximately 50 percent of the course work is in the specialized area of Electrical Engineering Technology and approximately 25 percent in supporting or related courses. The remainder of the program is composed of general education courses. Upon satisfactory completion of the four-semester program, the graduate will be awarded an Associate of Applied Science degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. All students must complete the requirements for the common core courses before entering the second year.
