Students in the Electrical Technology program receive hands-on training in the principles and applications of control circuits. This area of study focuses on how electrical systems are used to control equipment and environments in real-world settings. The training covers key applications, including motor control systems, lighting control systems, and other automated and controlled electrical environments. Students develop an understanding of both the operation and function of various control circuit components that includes relays (electromechanical switches used to control circuits), contacts (conductive elements within switches and relays that open or close circuits), pilot lights (visual indicators used to display system status), limit switches (sensors used to detect position or movement), input devices (such as push buttons, switches, and sensors), and output devices (including motors, lamps, and alarms). Through both theoretical instruction and practical exercises, students learn how these components interact within a control system to safely and efficiently manage electrical operations.
