WHY SCC?
What specializations are available in the Electrical & Electromechanical Technology program?
Our program offers three paths: Electrical Technician, Electromechanical Maintenance Technician, and Automation & Robotics. You can choose the specialization that matches your interests and career goals after exploring the basics in your first term.
What skills will I learn in an Automation & Robotics program?
We will teach you AC and DC principles, how transformers and three-phase systems work and how to use programmable logic controls. You'll become skilled at programming and networking industrial automation equipment including programmable logic controllers, robotics, variable frequency drivers, vision systems and other industrial devices.
Do I need prior experience to succeed in this program?
No prior technical knowledge is required. Our experienced instructors will start by teaching you the basics and then move into your chosen specialty in the second semester.
How much hands-on experience will I get?
You'll spend about half of your time working in labs with the same equipment used in the industry. Our low equipment-to-student ratio means you'll have plenty of time to practice and apply what you learn in the classroom.
CAREER OUTCOMES
