The Energy Systems Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program equips students for careers involving the setup, functioning, calibration, regular upkeep, examination, testing, and restoration of power generation machinery. Graduates find employment across various electrical generation sectors with firms that design, construct, operate, and manage electrical generation setups. These systems utilize fossil and nuclear fuels, hydropower, wind, or alternative energy sources to generate electricity. Electrical Engineering technicians handle generators, large electric motors, protective relays, and other high-voltage, high-current electrical gear, along with interconnection wiring, control circuits, and PLCs. They address technical issues common in the electrical engineering technology field by applying critical thinking, modern technology, and hands-on use of industry tools. They collaborate and communicate efficiently in diverse teams within industrial environments and recognize the value of ongoing education to keep up with evolving technical standards and codes.
