Program Details
Engineering, Science & Math
The Electrical Installation and Practice program leads students through the various skills and tasks needed by electrical professionals to be successful for the current and developing electrical field. Students begin their studies by learning about residential electrical installations including hand tool and power tool usage, safe use of ladders, diagram drawings and reading and interpreting blueprints. Students will then progress to learning how to use the National Electrical Code (NEC), which provides the minimum installation requirements for device boxes, raceways and fittings, conductors and cables. Students are introduced to 120 volt systems, and class projects include residential wiring tasks like installing switches and power outlets, sizing and installing service equipment, and safe and proper electrical tester usage. Finally, students explore alternating current and are introduced to motor theory and application. The NEC is used to study grounding and bonding, circuit breakers and fuses, and pull and junction boxes. Class projects include motor control circuits, conduit bending, circuit breaker and fuse sizing, and 3 wire control systems. Students in the Electrical program have the opportunity to receive NCCER and OSHA certifications, both of which are nationally recognized building trades organizations.

About the School
George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education (CTE) High School was established in 1919, making it one of the oldest and renowned CTE high schools in New York City. Our students must major in one of five CTE programs: Culinary Arts, IT Support and Cybersecurity, Electrical Installation Technology, Computer Science, Data Science under our Future Ready NYC program. Our CTE programs are a far cry from the vocational and training programs of the past. Instead, they are rigorous, industry focused pathways that are grounded in real world applications and enhanced by work-based learning opportunities. Our programs prepare our students for further study in college or early careers, making our students career and college ready upon graduation. Students study academic and technical skills simultaneously and must meet required standards for both. All academic requirements must be met for a diploma, and the CTE pathway gives students the opportunity to receive a CTE endorsement to the diploma. In addition, various industry certification exams are offered. Our students’ education is rounded out by PSAL sports, various clubs and student activities. We expect our students to embody the qualities established in the Westinghouse Warrior Profile. Our students are Wise, Aware, Resilient, Responsible, Inquiring, Organized and Respectful.
