Electricity & Instrumentation
The electricity and instrumentation field is an ever-changing and continuously growing area. As technology changes and improves, highly trained maintenance craftspeople are an important asset for every industrial, commercial and office facility. Nationwide, job growth in the field is predicted to be one of the highest of all areas.
The Certificate of Applied Science in Electricity and Instrumentation includes, but is not limited to, electrical theory, the national electrical code, bending and installation of conduit, tubing and piping, various types of mechanical and electrical drawings, electronics, hydraulics and pneumatics, process control instrumentation, and programmable logic controllers, as well as troubleshooting skills in all areas.
This program offers a degree certificate as well as a certificate from the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). The curriculum is also included in the Associate of Applied Science in Multi-Craft Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Technology degree programs. Therefore, making a smooth transition to an associate degree. Upon completion of an associate program, application to our Bachelor of Applied Science in Supervisory Management is then available. WVU Parkersburg is one of few schools nationwide which affords this opportunity.
