Students from the Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District Technical Education Center’s Electrical and Mechanical Systems in Industry program recently competed in the fourth annual Systems Control Wiring Competition. The level of competition increases each year and this year was very close. This competition simulates wiring a basic panel from Systems Control. They kicked off the competition with a presentation from Systems Control on career opportunities available and interviewing tips. For the competition, the students are given drawings and had to land 19 wires with proper labels, uniform wire lengths, no loose wires and no bare wire showing. The students also were tested on their knowledge of the wiring schematic to explain how the wiring circuits work. This competition uses skills previously learned in this class on circuit fundamentals and electrical panel wiring.
