MCC's Electrical Technology - Substation Pathway provides students with a combination of both electrician and electronics training. This pathway has been developed in partnership with Eversource to meet growing workforce demands.
The Substation Pathway concentration focuses on the fundamentals of substation hardware and electronics. Hardware training includes power lines, insulators, transformers, capacitors, switches, circuit breakers and other mechanical devices. Electronics training includes learning about sensors, telemetering, radio transmissions, controls, PLC’s, data acquisition, monitoring and central control interfacing.
The mission of the Electrical Technology program is to provide you with the foundation to become an effective electrical technician, electrical apprentice, utility substation electrician or lineworker.
Depending on the chosen Electrical Technology degree pathway (Licensure, Technician or Substation), students who graduate will:
- Possess the required theory training for an electrician apprenticeship.
- Be well-versed in fundamental electrical theory.
- Demonstrate safe and appropriate use of electrical equipment and tools.
- Possess in-depth knowledge of the National Electrical Code.
- Be prepared for entry-level positions as electrical technicians, linemen, substation electricians or licensed electricians.
