This course will introduce the student to the various electrical properties and the equipment which produces those properties. Basic circuitry will be examined, utilizing algebraic skills to perform the calculations.
This course will introduce the student to the alternating current. The electrical properties and their affects on the circuit will be examined. Basic trigonometric skills will be utilized to perform calculations for analyzing various electrical circuits.
This course is a preliminary study of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Wiring design and protection, wiring methods and materials, and equipment for general use are covered. Interaction and personal communications with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (i.e., inspectors, engineers, architects, employers, etc.) as well as customers and owners will be addressed.
This course covers the basic formulas needed to determine electrical values in typical electrical installations including power, current, and voltage. Basic methods of calculation for both DC and AC quantities will be discussed and demonstrated as well as the use of modern calculators and computer software to determine necessary values.
This course is a practical hands-on course using ammeters, voltmeters, watt meters, and multi-meters in testing and troubleshooting electric motors, components and wiring systems. This course includes a study of single and three phase AC motors, their construction features and operating characteristics. This lecture/lab class emphasizes electric motor terminology, identification of motor types, enclosures, mounts, motor selection, connections, maintenance, testing and troubleshooting. Students are also introduced to motor loads, protection, controls, and devices used to connect motors to their loads such as pulleys, V-belts, gear boxes and couplings.
This course is an introduction to basic wiring circuits, materials and tools used and wiring methods. Students also perform laboratory work with actual circuit layout and installation in accordance with the rules and regulations of the National Electrical Code. This course deals primarily with residential wiring methods.
This course studies techniques of communicating through the use of mechanical drawings, electrical drawings, heating ventilation and air conditioning drawings. Basic blueprint reading and sketching are included as well as symbols and scales.
This course is an introductory study of National Electrical Code requirements for residential wiring, including protective ground circuits, service entry and electrical safety requirements for routine residential electrical installations.
This course includes laboratory work dealing with Code application relating to conduit bending as well as National Electrical Code calculations for wire and cable installation. Students will perform lab work consisting of actual installation of conduit, wire and cable.
This course is intended to meet the needs of Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) students and Certificate of Applied Science (C.A.S.) students who do not plan to transfer to other degree programs or institutions, Elementary Technical Writing is designed to introduce students to common forms of work related writing, such as memoranda, letters, reports, and proposals.
Students Please Note: This course may be used to satisfy degree and graduation requirements in Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees and Certificate of Applied Science (C.A.S.) degrees; however, it cannot be used to satisfy any degree or graduation requirement for an Associate of Science, an Associate of Arts, a Bachelor of Arts, or a Bachelor of Science degree.
