The Electrical & Automation Technology program prepares
students for exciting and well-paying career paths in the field of industrial
control and automation. All manufacturing processes rely on electricity,
electronics, communications, hydraulics and pneumatics. The program provides
sound theory reinforced by laboratory applications which reflect the
expectations and responsibilities of graduates in the workplace.
Students receive a solid foundation in DC/AC theory, electrical
machines and transformers, basic wiring techniques, motor controls, industrial
electronics, digital electronics, data communications, hydraulics and
pneumatics. Graduates are eligible to sit for the State of Maine Journeyman
Electrician Exam. After having passed it, as well as having met the on-the-job
experience requirements of the State Electrician Examining Board, they will
receive Journeyman Electrician licenses. Graduates secure employment in many
different settings such as industrial electrician, maintenance technician,
engineering assistant, construction electrician or field representative.
EMCC has an articulation agreement with the Electrical
Engineering Technology program at the University of Maine. This allows
Electrical and Automation Technology graduates to easily transfer into
UMaine's 4-year engineering program and complete their Bachelor's Degree in an
additional two years.
