Electricity Additional Information

Level 1 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 2  will provide the student with advanced training in those techniques, processes and theories introduced in Level 1. The course will cover  electrical controls, blueprint reading, estimating, voltage drop, meter reading, advance wiring projects and special circuits. The student will  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 3   Upon completion of Electricity II, the student will either enter the work experience  program or will require individualized training in  the Electricity III Class.
