Course Description

Students will learn the fundamentals to safely work with high energy systems in accordance with NFPA 70e standards. This course explores the safety standards adopted and established by the NFPA and OSHA. Students will acquire hands-on experience using multimeters and oscilloscopes to safely diagnose electrical problems. This course covers the foundational concepts of calibration in electronic test equipment. Formerly known as ELEC A170. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Instructional Techniques

Lecture Detailed whiteboard lectures with opportunity for student engagement. Discussion of media provided and assigned via LMS. Demonstration of technical skills. Lab Students build, test, and calibrate electronic circuits.  Lab projects reinforce lecture topics and are paced to coincide or lag the lecture content. Lab projects generate content that students use to draft schematics and wiring diagrams.

Reading Assignments

Student will read the instructor provided handouts available via LMS.   Approximately 1 hour a week

Writing Assignments

The out of class drafting assignment will require writing.  Students will spend approximately 30 minutes a week writing as a matter of drafting the following- Circuit Schematics Wiring Diagrams

Out-of-class Assignments

Students will spend approximately 1 hour a week drafting the following- Circuit Schematics Wiring Diagrams

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

Students will build, test, and calibrate several electronic circuits. Students will utilize test equipment to evaluate performance of electronic circuits. Students use their knowledge of NFPA 70E to evaluate risks associated with working on several systems.

Required Writing, Problem Solving, Skills Demonstration

The students are required to keep a portfolio of lab projects. Students will demonstrate the skills required to maintain, test, and calibrate electronic circuits. Each lab project requires a technical report consisting of the following Circuit Schematic Wiring Diagram
