ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The program is a four-semester program that provides education and training in the production, control, transmission, distribution, use in heating, lighting and power supply of electricity, production, testing and measurement of electrical equipment, safe installation of electricity in buildings, maintenance of electrical tools and equipment and troubleshooting. The program has switched to a 3+1 Workplace Education Model as of the 2024-2025 Academic Year. With this model, students will have an applied internship process during the 4th semester.
PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM
The purpose of the program is to meet the need for qualified intermediate technical staff who are equipped with professional knowledge and skills sought by the public and private sectors, who follow the technology of the day and continue to improve themselves, and who act as a bridge between engineers and technicians. Graduates of the department, as qualified personnel with the title of technician, take part in the establishment of all kinds of facilities, continuous operation of enterprises, control, maintenance and repair of electrical devices and tools, continuity of production in factories, energy production, transmission and distribution. The Electrical Program trains qualified personnel to respond to the demands and developments of the sector.
