Abstract

Instruction on the foundation of electricity and circuit analysis that includes electromagnetism, AC/DC circuits, soldering, board layout, motors, wiring standards, AC to DC conversion, solenoids, stepper and servo motors, and electronic components. Students will gain an understanding of foundational principles including the use of Ohm’s Law to calculate values in direct current circuits. Students will perform analysis, calculations, and decisions relating to series and parallel circuits, along with analyzing and troubleshooting the circuits with common test equipment. Proper use of electronic measurement equipment (voltmeters, oscilloscopes, ammeters, etc.) Read blueprints and schematics to determine sequences of assembly.
