Electrical Construction Technology

When working to get a degree in Electrical Construction Technology, students will learn how to use the basic and safe tools needed in the industry and complete basic computer functions. At SCTCC, we ensure all our students have the skills they need to succeed in the workforce so we teach them how to apply the National Electrical Code (NEC) to build life-like models of how electrical wiring is installed in homes, businesses, and industries.

After graduation, students can wire and maintain electrical systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, read and interpret schematics, manuals, and blueprints, and maintain Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

With a degree from our program, graduates can select materials that are environmentally friendly, practice proper disposal of hazardous materials, and demonstrate awareness of tool use and safety. Our students can even perform basic Algebra and Trigonometry functions as well as understand and the follow the NEC.
