Level I will provide the student with an introduction to the basic skills, practices and theories of electricity and its application to devices, circuits, and materials. The emphasis will be on safe handling of hand and power tools. Topics will include the National Electrical Code book, electron theory which includes atoms and materials, circuit theory, direct current (D.C.) fundamentals, series-parallel circuits, power and alternating current (A.C.) fundamentals, calculations for power, voltage, current and resistance. The student will participate in classroom sessions of problem solutions for simple circuits and hands-on activities in wiring, electrical circuits and equipment.

Level II will provide the student with advanced training in those techniques, processes and theories introduced in the first semester. The course will cover electrical controls, blueprint reading, estimating, voltage drop, meter reading, advance wiring projects and special circuits. They interpret and apply the National Electrical Code for problem solutions for load calculation and branch circuit requirements for residential dwellings. Emphasis will be placed on those skills and attitudes necessary to gain employment and/or to pursue higher education.

Level III upon completion of Electricity II, the student will enter the work experience program.
