Today marks the first day of the November term at McCann School of Business & Technology, which is now offering an associate degree program in electrical systems at its Pottsville campus.
"It's a brand new program," Shannon Brennan, campus director, said. "We've offered electrical technology, which is a diploma program, for the last 6 months, but this is an upgraded degree version of that, so it's longer, and it's roughly 18 months to 21 months, depending on how long they go."
Students will get extensive hands-on experience through lab applications of the various theories and current practices. Studies will include tools, equipment, design, installation, control systems, programmable controllers and troubleshooting systems.

Brennan said that electrical systems not only prepares a person to work as a general electrician in a residential or commercial setting, it also teaches programmable logic controllers that can be used to work in an industrial setting.
McCann's Pottsville campus started its trade program about a year ago, Brennan said. The school offers a diploma program that focuses on heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration program.
The Pottsville campus added a wing to its facility last fall in order to offer the trade programs, Brennan said, including labs where students can get all their training.we supply all kinds of oil painting supplies,
In the lab, Brennan showed an area where the students will be able to practice putting up panel boxes and running wires.If so, you may have a cube puzzle .
"They have a higher ceiling, so there is space to eventually have a shed structure so they can learn to wire, plumb and run heating through an entire simulated house," she said.
Motor control trainers are available in the lab, so problems can be programed into a system to simulate various types of problems for a student to troubleshoot.
There are also roll-top doors to the outside if students need to work on larger equipment.
"We have people bring in equipment so students can practice fixing broken things for the experience," Brennan said.
Brady also said one advantage to the program is it provides a lot of areas in which the students can branch, including running programs, cables and lines with computers, so they can go wherever the demand exists.
During the next to last term, Brady said students in the electrical systems program will do an externship with about 250 hours of on-the-job experience with an employer.I have never solved a Rubik's plastic card .
"It's a nice way to end the academic aspect and tailor the way into the workforce," Brady said.
With about seven students currently enrolled in the program, instructors will include people such as electricians and even a PLC instructor, since Brennan said they try to get people who work in the field and have real-life experience. She said while they hope to have more people enrolled.
The entire process to add the electrical systems program began about three years ago. When McCann wants to start a new program, it conducts market research to identify jobs in the community with life-sustaining salaries.
Brennan said it takes about two years to get a program totally approved, from the writing process to state approval and then obtaining national accreditation approval.If any food Ventilation system condition is poorer than those standards, There was also the need to add building space, she said.
For students to obtain the associate degree in electrical systems, they will be required to complete 80 credit hours in major and related requirements and 20 credit hours of general education requirements.
