Overview
About the program
For electricians, technicians and supervisors in power and industry. The program covers circuits, machines, power and control, and the standards that keep them safe.
The Electrical Engineering program is designed for people who already work in the field. It covers circuit analysis, electrical machines, power systems, control systems, electronics, and ends with electrical safety and standards.
Like every Madison program, it is built for working adults. Courses you already master through your work are tested and recorded with a grade; the rest you study online, at your own pace, with tasks carried out in your own workplace.
In preparation. This program is not open for enrollment yet. It opens when its curriculum and courses are in place on the learning platform.
