DEGREE, DIPLOMA ~
DESCRIPTION
The Industrial Electrical/Electronics
Technology (IEET) program prepares students for
entry level positions in the industrial
electricity or electrical construction field.
The IEET program offers both an Associate in
Applied Science degree and a Diploma option.
Graduates from either the Associate in Applied
Science Option or the Diploma option will be
skilled in the installation and maintenance of
various residential, commercial, and industrial
electrical and/or electronic systems. All State
of Maine electrical licensing educational
requirements are met or exceeded in this
program.
PROGRAM MISSION
The Industrial Electrical/Electronics program
provides graduates with the technical background
and the manual skills necessary for careers in
the installation and maintenance of modern
electrical systems, electrical equipment, and
electrical/electronic controls. Graduates are
critical thinkers and are able to troubleshoot
problems in residential, commercial, or
industrial electrical environments. The program
provides students with the ability to
communicate effectively using standard methods
of communication. Recognizing the need for
lifelong learning, the IEET program helps
students achieve various professional and
personal goals that may arise over a lifetime,
including the opportunity for transfer to other
college and university technical programs. The
program strives to maintain a high academic
standard for teaching and learning
electricity/electronics through a continuous
process of self-assessment and improvement.
Students are exposed to a learning environment
that is safe and supportive of student growth
and achievement. Using modern training
equipment, innovative teaching methods and
highly trained faculty members, the IEET program
endeavors to fully prepare students for a
variety of electrical/electronic occupations.
EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES
Upon successful completion of the IEET
program, graduates are expected to:
1) Practice the electrical and electronic
skills of the profession in a conscientious,
responsible, and accountable manner while
recognizing the need to continue to expand their
technical knowledge and skills.
2) Communicate effectively and listen and
respond appropriately to a variety of
residential, commercial and industrial
electrical situations.
3) Think critically and use their acquired
analytical skills to solve problems encountered
in a residential, commercial or industrial
electrical environment.
CRITERIA FOR GRADUATION
Students must complete 68 credits in the
Industrial Electrical/Electronics Technology
program and achieve a minimum grade of "C" in
all core courses (*). Students must attain a
final GPA of 2.0 or higher. Graduates are
eligible to take the State of Maine Journeyman
Electrical Licensing Examination.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Graduates will find employment as entry level
Industrial Electricians, Construction
Electricians, Industrial Electronic Technicians,
or in positions that involve the installation
and maintenance of electrical and/or electronic
systems.
