Program Description:

 

This program is technical and highly skilled, which prepares students with the knowledge and skills needed to function in residential electricity, commercial and industrial, with the integration of photovoltaic systems as a source of renewable energy. Includes the study of safety rules and regulations in the operation of electrical equipment, the study and interpretation of charts and diagrams, and the study of systems programmable logic circuit (PLC). Also, the student will apply the knowledge and skills acquired through business practice while studying.

 

General Objective:

 

Develop in students the skills necessary to install, maintain, and repair electrical systems in homes, businesses, and industries. To prepare students with the skills to apply to the certification examinations offered by the Board of Examiners of Electricians PR Experts. The overall aim is to develop the student so that it can serve as an electrician, with expertise in PLC systems and photovoltaic systems as a source of renewable energy.
