This program prepares individuals to apply technical knowledge and skills necessary to lay out, assemble, install, operate, maintain, test and repair electrically-energized residential, commercial and industrial systems, DC and AC motors, generators, transformers, controls, programmable logic controllers, and electrical distribution panels. Instruction emphasizes the application of mathematics and science, electron theory and Ohm's Law. The program includes instruction in single and three phase, delta and wye systems; both low (110 v. - 220 v.) and high voltages (440 v. and higher); reading and interpretation of commercial and residential construction wiring codes and specifications (ie, National Electrical Code); installation and maintenance of wiring; service; and distribution networks within large construction complexes. Students will also receive instruction in solar and wind generation. They will build circuits powered by a 600 watt solar panel and a 400 watt windmill. They will also be able to trace the distribution of the power generated by these green technology components. Clustered learning experiences are offered in collaboration with the Construction Carpentry, Drafting and Design Technology, HVAC/Plumbing, and Practical Environmental Landscaping pathways as part of the Architecture & Construction career cluster. Students will be prepared for entry-level employment in the electrical and cabling industry in residential, commercial and industrial settings. The ...
