4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: formal admission to the Electrical Construction Technology program This course presents basic scientific information about the nature of matter as it relates to understanding electrical theory and provides an understanding of the theories and principles by which all electrical devices operate. Students will learn about the structures, elements, functions, and characteristics of Direct Current (DC) circuits. The course also develops an understanding of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), and the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) as they exist on a national and local level. A separate laboratory experience will provide students with opportunities to apply and work with concepts learned in the classroom setting.(6 contact hours: 3 lecture, 3 lab)
