Electrical students learn and develop
skills required by a licensed electrician. A student graduating from the
electrical program will earn credit toward the requirement for a Massachusetts
Journeyman electrician License. All aspects of the electrical industry are
studied. Wiring systems from simple single-family homes to large commercial and
industrial buildings are analyzed, diagrammed and built. Magnetic starters,
motor controls, transformers, logic controls, alarm and signaling circuits,
cable TV, telephone, home theatre, and computer network wiring are all studied.
Practical installations are fabricated in the shop. Science, Math and English
are applied and integrated to the curriculum and the National Electrical Code is
introduced as a text. Other important aspects of the electrical trade such as
permits, inspections, insurance and proper licensing are also studied.
Graduates are well prepared to serve as electrical apprentices and continue
their education in the Electrical Trade.
