5.0 - 3.0 - 6.0

Course Description

Through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, coaching and problem solving, students learn and apply general electrical theory used in manufacturing, process, and power industries. Students study electron theory as it relates to ac and dc circuits. Students study various circuits, resistance, capacitance, inductance, symbols, and wiring diagrams. Lab assignments allow students to demonstrate an understanding of electrical theory, measuring, and control devices. The course emphasizes safety, as students are working with actual controls and voltages.
