Few Programme Options After Electrical

Electrical Engineering Technician

Students of the Electrical Engineering Technician program learn a full range of electrical skills enabling them to work in a wide variety of electrical engineering areas including power systems and automation control systems. As well as acquiring a solid foundation of knowledge, students gain maximum career flexibility and the opportunity to explore several avenues in the electrical field. Students gain experience with electric motors, controls, PLCs, transformers and their industrial applications. Knowledge of electrical theory is supplemented by practical applications in power systems, industrial solid state controls, instrumentation, programmable logic controllers and motor control systems. Students work with heavy electrical motors, generators and transformers, learning a variety of industrial applications.

Controls Systems – Electrical Engineering

It’s a set of automated devices that control the transformation, transportation, and distribution of electrical energy in equipment, whether industrial or domestic, in addition to regulating the flow of electric current needed for its proper operation. At the industrial level, there are machines that function due to different devices that respond to an electrical control system. Such is the case with control switches or the electricity conductors for starting motors, pumps, refrigerators, etc. Electrical control systems are essential in several sectors: industries, ships, airplanes, and even nuclear power plants. These range from engineering and construction to industrial food and beverage manufacturing, and they serve to ensure that the setups and processes involved successfully comply with their mechanical functions.

Electrical Process Automation and Trades

The Electrical Engineering Technician – Process Automation program provides you with the basic knowledge of electricity and electronics. As a student, you will learn to apply related subjects such as computer technology, industrial electronics, instrumentation, electrical machines, robotics, power electronics, and automated control systems. When you graduate, you will be geared towards a career in the industrial environment and will be able to install, test, modify, troubleshoot, and repair electrical systems. You will also be able to approach industrial electrical and electronic systems from the viewpoint of analysis, technical evaluation, design, and development.

Electrical Power Generation

The specialized, intensive Electrical Power Generation Technician diploma program will prepare you to install, maintain and test electrical power generation units up to 10,000 kilowatts used for emergency power, standby power and prime power generation, in compliance with regulated standards. You will also be able to maintain service and install diesel, gasoline and natural gas powered generators. The job market for qualified specialists in the electrical and alternate power generation field is strong and growing, due to supply shortages, climate disruptions and the increase in energy demands. Power generator systems ensure consistent power generation in response to unreliable electricity grids or when traditional hydroelectricity is unavailable.

Power Generation

Electrical power plays significant role in a development of industry and agriculture with the growing demand of electric power and diminishing of fossil fuel it has important to generate power more efficiently. This course therefore details of electrical power generation using thermal, hydro and nuclear. These types of power plants need highly skilled technician who are capable of operating various equipment to supply uninterrupted power. This course attempts to develop basic generating skills required to take appropriate decision to maintain various generating stations and auxiliary equipment of power plant and also aid for further studies in transmission, utilization and protection of power system for smooth and steady operation.

Electrical engineering technology

Electrical engineering technology is a part of virtually everything society relies on, from air conditioning to airplanes, trains, and televisions. EET is the largest branch of engineering technology and includes a diverse range of sub disciplines, such as applied design, electronics, embedded systems, control systems, instrumentation, telecommunications, and power systems. Robotics, computer-aided design (CAD), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and electronic manufacturing processes may also be part of an EET professional’s work, which focuses on the design, application, installation, manufacturing, operation, and maintenance of electrical systems. They work hand-in-hand with electrical engineers to help ideas come to life. EET is the study of machines, equipment, technology, and systems that conduct electrical charges and produce electricity. It also includes the study of electrical distribution systems that control the amount of energy received by an appliance, such as an energy converter or control system. EET professionals typically work in the field to maintain electric voltage systems and their individual parts, such as heaters, motors, circuits, and generators. They also often install wiring systems and circuit boards.

Energy Systems Engineering / Alternative Energy

The Energy Systems Engineering Technology program will focus on society’s changing views of energy and the environment, which are transforming the utility and construction sectors. This advanced diploma program will present the students with the opportunity to learn how to integrate and use modern sustainable energy technologies in a manner consistent with sub-urban environments. The utility sector is currently undergoing a radical shift in operating practice that opens the door to a range of innovative energy projects using small-scale sources — solar, wind, hydro, biomass, Hydrogen fuel cells, energy advising, energy storage systems & management, and Geo-thermal energy— to feed electricity, heat, transport vehicles and heat pumps for heating & cooling of homes and businesses. The construction industry, meanwhile, has adopted a host of new net zero building initiatives that are quickly increasing the awareness and use of sustainable and integrated architecture and engineering practices for new buildings. Manufacturers also have many new products that provide ways to implement advanced energy management in commercial and residential structures. Due to the energy industry’s changing nature, this program will be challenging but will result in a unique blend of technical, managerial and entrepreneurial skills that are highly sought after in modern energy and sustainable building companies and sectors.
