Additionally, students learn the essentials of obtaining needed materials for a job, and are able to estimate the necessary time to complete a task. The student is taught to be proud of his or her work. Emphasis is strongly placed on the industrial requirement to follow both written and spoken directions. The concept of industrial standards is important in both the areas of safety and in production of a finished project. Standard procedures related to safe operation of electrical and mechanical equipment are taught and adhered to.
Safety is the number one concern of the program.
In addition, the concept of being on time at the job is strictly enforced. All of these are well understood by BCC's EET graduates. The students are introduced to related fields that a technician in the EET area is likely to come into contact with. These include tolerancing, milling equipment, working with plastics, and other standard equipment. An old American standard, that of quality workmanship, is a prime goal of the program.
