Program Overview
Southeast Community College offers the Electrical Technician track within Electrical & Electromechanical Technology at its Milford Campus. The Associate of Applied Science requires 60 credits over four terms; the certificate requires 20 credits over two terms. The AAS can be taken full-time or part-time, while the certificate is full-time, and both list fall and spring starting terms. Confirm a part-time completion schedule with the program. Milford Campus is at 600 State Street in Milford, Nebraska. The track covers fundamental electrical principles, the National Electrical Code, and wiring for electrical infrastructure in construction and manufacturing environments.
Curriculum Highlights
Students learn to install electrical systems following the National Electrical Code for homes, businesses, and factories. Instructors start with the basics in the first term, and students move into their chosen specialty in the second semester. The program says students spend about half their time in labs with industry equipment and a low equipment-to-student ratio. The Electrical Technician pathway focuses on installing, maintaining, and repairing electrical systems in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, testing equipment, troubleshooting, and code compliance. SCC also offers separate automation and industrial maintenance tracks; choose the Electrical Technician award when that is the intended route.
Admission Requirements
The program states that no prior technical knowledge is required. Begin with SCC's Application for Admission for a program of study, which is required for degree or certificate seekers and for federal financial aid; the visiting-student application is for people taking a few classes. These programs have limited seats for each intake, and a limited number of applicants are waitlisted. The program page states that the fall applications for the Electrical Technician AAS and certificate have closed, so check it for the next open intake, apply early, and watch email for enrollment instructions. Program chair Jordan Liekhus can be reached at 402-761-8300 or [email protected].
