Course Description:

This program is designed to develop pre-employment skills and attitudes in students wishing to enter industrial electrical maintenance occupations. Basic electrical safety; electrical code, lighting, switching and motor control circuits, electrical trouble-shooting, blueprint and schematic reading, and installation techniques are studied.

As the new students gain experience and knowledge in the classroom, they participate in assigned campus electrical installations and maintenance ranging from lighting maintenance to the troubleshooting and repair of the great variety of industrial equipment found on the CCOC campus.

Emphasis is also placed on developing a solid background in elementary DC and AC theory. Introduction to the function, testing, and theory of solid state devices is also presented.
