Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

There is no P/NP grading option for APR classes.  The grading option must be letter grade.

Upon completion of the course students should be able to:

1. Properly apply current OSHA safety standards for the prevention of Arc Blast and Arc Flash using correct personal protective equipment.
2. Draw and interpret industrial blueprints and schematics. *
3. Demonstrate safe working conditions in accordance with state and federal regulations. *
4. Solve electrical equations using trades specific mathematical formulas.*
5. Use electromagnetic theory to discuss, explain, service, maintain, and repair AC motors and transformers.

*these outcomes are required for statewide Apprenticeship Degree and Certificates and cannot be modified.

Because LBME Apprentices come from a wide variety of occupations and because Related Training Courses complement the Apprentice's On-The-Job (OJT) Training, this course is primarily lecture with accompanying homework assignments using Del mars standard textbook of electricity and the american electricians handbook, providing students with a solid knowledge base.

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.
