ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY (ELT)
(Wallace and Sparks Campuses, Easterling Correctional Facility)

Electricians assemble, test, install, and maintain electrical systems used in commercial and industrial applications. They install and test complete electrical systems including conduit, wiring, and control devices. They troubleshoot, repair, and modify electrical power and control systems including hydraulic/pneumatic, programmable controllers, relay control systems, and AC/DC drives. Students must purchase their own tools and books.

Students have the option of focusing on commercial or residential applications through selection of ELT course electives. Any student who completes all courses listed in the General Education Core, Required Field of Concentration, and 15 hours of ELT electives will be awarded an associate in applied science degree in Electrical Technology. Students completing all courses in the Required Field of Concentration, 15 hours of ELT electives, CIS 146, ENG 101, MTH 100, and SPH 106 will be awarded a program certificate in Electrical Technology. Admission is conditional and depends on the student's ability to perform essential functions identified for this program. Reasonable accommodations are considered.
