The Substation Technology Program will provide students with the skills to maintain high-voltage equipment and protective systems for the electric utility transmission infrastructure. Training in the operation and maintenance of critical infrastructure associated with the electric substation grid is included.
Courses are designed to develop students understanding of maintenance and troubleshooting on transmission equipment, including three-phase power theory, protective relaying, power transformers, voltage regulators, capacitors, and power circuit breakers common to electric utility and numerous other industries.
Graduates should qualify for entry-level employment in electric utility, renewable energy, and industrial facilities as technicians who diagnose and service equipment and components used for electrical power distribution and transmission.
