Prerequisites: APR 124 or TE 9615. Audit available.
Intended Outcomes for the course
- Calculate voltage, amperage, resistance, power, power factor, conductor size, inductance, inductive and capacitive reactance, and impedance found in the heavy industrial workplace per NEC tables and requirements and as they apply to subsequent courses.
- Demonstrate safe working conditions in accordance with state and federal regulations. *
- Describe and apply basic theory of electrical sources. *
* required for statewide Apprenticeship degree
Course Activities and Design
The instructor utilizes a lecture format, discussion, math, code and design problems.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
Procedures will be discussed at the first class session and the instructor's grading policy will be referenced on the class syllabus.
A Pass - No/Pass grading option is not available for any APR (Apprenticeship) course.
