The 30 credit hour Electric Distribution Engineering Technology (EDET) certificate program prepares individuals for the fast track into high paying careers as utility workers, a field which has typically been limited to internal apprenticeship opportunities. The program is designed to provide the technical skills required for new utility workers by combing academic instruction on the technology fueling today’s electrical utilities with hands-on laboratories such as pole training areas and equipment labs to ensure the students are prepared for the job on day one.
