What You Can Learn in Our Electrical Program

• Equipment and Shop Safety Procedures
  Equipment and Shop Safety Procedures In an electrical program, you will have the opportunity to learn about the various types of equipment and shop safety procedures that are used in the industry, as well as the different types of electrical hazards and how to avoid them. You will also be taught about the different types of electrical code requirements and how to properly use and maintain electrical equipment.
• Voltage Measurement Using an Ohmmeter
  Voltage Measurement Using an Ohmmeter Students learn about voltage measurement using an ohmmeter. This device is used to measure the potential difference between two points in a circuit. It is important to understand how to properly use an ohmmeter in order to take accurate measurements. Additionally, students can learn about the dangers of using this type of device improperly.
• NEC Codebook
  NEC Codebook The National Electrical Code (NEC) is the standard for electrical safety in the United States and is adopted by most local jurisdictions. The NEC codebook contains a wealth of information on electrical safety, including wiring methods, circuit protection, and grounding. Our program covers how to find the information in the NEC book to help you build confidence to work on electrical systems.
• Conduit Bending and Pipe Threading
  Conduit Bending and Pipe Threading This skill is important for electrical work because it helps to ensure that the pipes and conduits are properly installed and secure. It also helps to prevent leaks and other problems that can occur when these materials are not installed correctly. This program provides instruction on understanding how to bend and shape electrical conduit, as well as how to cut and thread pipes.
• Installing Conductors
  Installing Conductors This program includes both theoretical and practical instruction on how to safely and effectively install electrical conductors. We cover topics such as the use of proper tools and techniques, calculation of voltage drop, and code compliance. Our graduates should come away from the program with a strong understanding of how to properly install conductors and be prepared to apply for entry into the workforce as electrical technicians.
• Raceway Systems
  Raceway Systems We cover the various types of raceway systems used to protect and route electrical wiring in commercial and industrial buildings. The program covers the installation, inspection, and maintenance of these systems.
• Pull Boxes
  Pull Boxes A pull box is a device that helps to bring electrical wiring or cable into a structure, and they are an essential part of an electrical system. We cover how to install, maintain, and troubleshoot pull boxes, and we also cover different types of pull boxes that are available on the market.
• Electric Motors
  Electric Motors Students in the program will have the opportunity to learn about the different types of electric motors, how they work, how to troubleshoot issues, and how to repair them. The program also covers the basics of electrical theory and safety, so that students and graduates can work safely with electrical equipment.
• Troubleshooting Electrical Circuits
  Troubleshooting Electrical Circuits We cover a wide range of topics related to troubleshooting electrical circuits. This includes basic electrical theory, circuit analysis, and a variety of troubleshooting techniques. We also cover safety procedures and regulations, as well as how to use various test equipment.
