Electrical Trades Program

Practical hands-on application of electrical principles, practices and codes to help the non-electrician learn the basics of wiring that they encounter around the house. Safety practices will be emphasized as will basic electrical theory. After the first three class sessions, there will be minimal theory or lecture and maximum practice using the tools and materials that the homeowner will encounter in doing electrical work on his/her home. Additional supply fee may be required.

Electricity for Non-Electricians II is a second class in the Homeowners Electrical class. This class will move beyond the basic concepts of wiring plugs and switches and look at circuits, breakers, 220V wiring, and home circuit addition/modification Associated Program: Manufacturing and Industrial Technology

Basic Programmable Controllers Develops the student's understanding of the complete operation of a variety of programmable controllers. The applications, operations, and programming of PLC's are the areas of study with the main emphasis on programming (computers will be used as programmers). . Additional supply fee may be required.

Intermediate Programmable Controllers (PC Based) Presents advanced features of programmable controllers, including designing, monitoring, and editing programs with practical hands-on experience. This class can be used towards Continuing Education Units for Oregon State electrical licensing purposes. Prerequisites: ELT 125. Additional supply fee may be required.
