ECMT 145 - Electric Utility Operations

Institution:

SUNY College of Technology at Delhi

Subject:

Description:

Electric utility operations workers must have an understanding of how electricity is generated, transmitted, and distributed to homes and businesses. They must be familiar with the risks of electrical contact accidents, exposure to arc flashes, and threats from vehicular traffic and other mechanical systems. They must be prepared to climb poles, work at heights, and effectively use their strength and mechanical leverage to accomplish complicated pole-top construction tasks. They must also communicate with their colleagues and work in teams to contribute to a safe and efficient work environment. This course provides students with an opportunity to assess their own skills and interests against the demands of the electric utility field and prepares them to pursue entry level electric operations jobs. Students preparing for careers in fields that interface to utility operations, such as construction, contracting, architecture, and real estate development may also benefit from a better understanding of electric utility operations.
