 Return to: Programs
This technical degree prepares the student to enter into a cooperative training experience, often resulting in long-term employment with the training entity. This degree is designed as a pre-apprenticeship preparation.
Degree Outcomes:
- Demonstrate knowledge of electrical safety, theory, vocabulary, and calculations of series, parallel, and combination circuits involving direct and alternating current.
- Demonstrate basic knowledge of capacitors, resistive-inductive-capacitive reactance circuits, single and three-phase transformers, DC generators and motors, three-phase alternators, and single and three-phase motors.
- Ability to read schematics, wire and test various types of electrical circuits.
- Demonstrate or describe proper safety procedures for working with rotating machinery, moving heavy objects, pressurized vessels and systems, chemicals, ladders and energy; electrical, heat, cold, fluid.
- Explain solid state components and devices.
- Demonstrate understanding of programmable logic controls (PLC) and direct digital controls (DDC).
Transferability: The AAS Degree is designed for students planning to enter their chosen career upon graduation. Often only selected credits are considered transferable to public or private baccalaureate institutions.
