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.
Electrical Machinery & Controls 1ET1314 cr.
This introductory course investigates the construction, operation, and control of
electrical equipment installed and maintained by the various electrical trades. Topics
include direct current equipment and include shunt, series, and compound motors and
generators, manual and automatic DC controllers, stepping motors, and DC meters. It
emphasizes the practical aspects of magnetic flux, counterelectromotive force, armature
and field currents, motor and generator loading conditions, and the relationship of
these electrical characteristics to specific types of mechanical, electrical, and
electronic controllers.
Electrical Machinery & Controls 2ET2325 cr.
This course combines related information pertaining to AC machinery, electromechanical
controllers, transducers, and electronic controls with the practical skills of equipment
selection, installation, wiring, troubleshooting, and maintaining the machinery control
systems currently used by industry. Topics include single and multiphase alternators,
motors, transformers, and meters. Methods of machinery control include across-the-line
starters, control relays, voltage and current transformers, limit switches, electronic
switching, and speed or rotation sensors.
