Many courses in the Industrial Electricity Electronics curriculum are required courses in the AIT.IMT degree. This can be seen in Section "C" of the AAS.IMT04 Degree Check Sheet (EEM prefixes). There is also an Industrial Electricity Concentration (which also can be seen in the Degree Audit) if you desire to acquire and Associate Degree in Industrial Maintenance with a concentration in Industrial Electricity (AIT.IMT04.EEM). Click Here to navigate to the Industrial Maintenance Degree webpage.

Also, there are three Certificate programs that are offered individually. These are the Basic Electricity Certificate, the Electronics Certificate, the Motors and Controls Certificate, and the Programmable Logic Controllers Certificate. These certificates are designed so that they can be acquired without the general academics (i.e. Math, English, etc.) that are required for the Associate Degree.

The Industrial Electricity concentration is designed to prepare students for electrical maintenance careers in a modern industrial environment. The graduate should be able to troubleshoot and maintain electrical systems, machinery, industrial controls, and protective devices with a minimum amount of on-site training.

Students receive extensive "hands-on" experience with PLCs, motors, controls, and associated test equipment. They design, connect, and operate some solid-state electronic circuits. Lab work also includes operation and some troubleshooting with electronic variable speed motor drive units.

Three courses are devoted to application, programming, and troubleshooting programmable logic controllers interfaced with simulated industrial processes. In addition, students are introduced to computers and computerized maintenance software.

The curriculum is not easy, but demand for employees with these skills has grown rapidly in recent years. As industry continues to modernize and new industries develop, the need will increase for the foreseeable future.
