Complex electrical and electronic control systems that require sophisticated computer programming, monitoring, and diagnostics are an integral part of advanced manufacturing and renewable energy systems. The Industrial Electricity and Electronics core curriculum at Kellogg Community College prepares students to install, maintain, and repair these systems. Students may pursue either a Certificate or an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Industrial Electricity and Electronics.
Modules within the core curriculum cover:
- Control Logix
- Electrical Control Wiring
- Electrical Safety & Machine Safety Controls
- Electrical Theory
- Facility Maintenance
- Industrial Electronics
- Mathematics
- Mechatronics

In order to earn an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Industrial Electricity and Electronics students must complete sixty (60) credits. These credits must be taken from three categories: core curriculum, general education electives, and technical electives.
Service-Learning Requirement
Students who obtain an Associate degree or an Associate of Applied Science degree will be required to complete a service-learning experience. The final grade in the course must qualify for academic credit in order to receive the service-learning endorsement. Please contact an Academic Advisor for courses that offer a service-learning experience, or search in the class schedules.
