  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits, 5 hours (2-0-3) This course involves the theory, applications, calculations, and connections associated with transformers and power distribution systems used in the electrical field.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits, 5 hours (2-0-3) Prerequisite: MTH090 or permission of instructor This course provides a study of atomic structure, direct current (DC), properties of conductors and insulators, direct current characteristics of series, parallel, and series parallel circuits. Inductors and capacitors are introduced, and their effects on DC circuits are examined. Students are prepared to analyze complex DC circuits, solve for unknown circuit variables, and use basic electronic test equipment. This course also provides hands-on laboratory exercises to analyze, construct, test, and troubleshoot direct current circuits. Emphasis is placed on the use of the scientific calculator and the operation of common test equipment used to analyze and troubleshoot DC circuits and to prove the theories taught during classroom instruction. CORE.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits, 5 hours (2-0-3) Prerequisite: ELT108 or permission of instructor This course provides a study of the theory of alternating current (AC). Students are prepared to analyze complex AC circuit configurations with resistors, capacitors, and inductors in series and parallet combinations. Upon completion, students should be able to describe AC circuits and explain the function of AC such as RLC, impedance, phase relationships and power factors. This course also provides hands-on laboratory exercises to analyze alternating current using a variety of circuit configurations with resistors, capacitors, and inductors in series and parallel combinations. Emphasis is placed on the operation of common test equipment used to analyze and troubleshoot AC circuits to prove the theories taught. CORE.
