Electrical Technology

Experience is preferred, but not necessary.

This class prepares its students for college, workforce, or beginning an apprenticeship.

Some of the homework assigned from the books will need to be completed at home. The Interim Credentials program is a self-guided computer program that will be mostly worked on outside of class time.

Total cost of tools for the class can start at about $80 and go up from there depending on personal preference. Each student purchases a lab workbook for $40 as well.

There are a variety of required hand tools. They are listed in the syllabus and will be covered in class.

No, however, if the student is accepted into the NECA/IBEW apprenticeship after high school our Interim Credentials program will place them directly into the 2nd year of classes. The required 8,000 on-the-job hours will be made up in the remaining 4 years.

Taking a basic construction or engineering class is helpful. Also, getting good grades in mid to upper level math courses will help as well.

Students work on wiring labs, conduit bending exercises, motor control labs, and wire a house.
