Course List (4 Courses)
Technical Electricity 1ET1013 cr.
This introductory course provides the basic knowledge and skills necessary within
any electrical service technician program. It includes an in-depth study of electron
theory, Ohm's Law, series and parallel circuits, as well as electrical energy and
power relationships. Also included are methods of generation of electromotive force,
electromagnetism, and motor principles and capacitance as these apply to DC circuits.
Uses, construction, and calibration of voltmeters and ammeters are investigated.
Technical Electricity 2ET1023 cr.
This course reinforces information acquired in ET101 and applies it to alternating
current (AC) circuits. It investigates AC sine wave generation, mutual inductance
inductive and capacitive reactance, and instantaneous values of voltage and current
as well as real and apparent power. Uses, construction, and calibration of AC metering
equipment are an integral part of this course. Practical application of each topic
in both introductory courses are included in all laboratory experiments.
ystems DiagramsET1043 cr.
This course covers the types, application, and use of electrical/electronic drawings,
including schematic diagrams and symbols, as well as the operation of electro-mechanical
devices. It differentiates between schematics and wiring diagrams and develops the
use of block diagrams, schematics, ladder-logic diagrams, wiring diagrams, assembly
drawings, and bills of material. Topics include Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs),
Basic Relay PLC Instructions, PLC Timers and Counters, and PLC programs in the form
of PLC ladder diagrams.
Commercial/Industrial Wiring and CodesET2364 cr.
This course introduces electrical wiring techniques with an emphasis on design and
layout of single and polyphase systems. Topics include diagnosis and repair of equipment
malfunctions, interpretation of the National Electrical Code (NEC), estimation of
project costs and progress, and installation techniques. Electrical systems studied
include lighting, heating, ventilation, interior and exterior power distribution,
and emergency energy conservation. Activities are focused on commercial and industrial
electrical systems.
