The Electrical Construction & Maintenance program prepares students for work installing and maintaining systems in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Courses include a mix of theory and hands-on lab applications.
Electrical Construction & Maintenance Associate of Applied Science Overview
| Program | Degree | Length of Program | Delivery Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Construction & Maintenance | Associate of Applied Science | Two years (82 credits); Dependent upon completion of general education credits, including one Math course (Goal Area 4) | On-campus |
Minnesota Transfer Credits earned through the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree at NTC will transfer for graduates wishing to further their education.
“In the introduction labs and lectures, you learn how to build mockups, bend conduit and take measurements just like you would on the job. They even give you obstacles to go through that you would likely experience on a job site.”
— Russell Mason (Electrical Construction student)
Degree Requirements
The program includes courses in wiring practices, electrical theory, National Electrical Code application, programmable controllers, and troubleshooting.
