ELEC150-Electrical Skills Enhancement 2

Electrical Skills 150 applies the fundamentals from ELEC100 to electrical applications found in the electric utility industry.

After a review of previous circuit concepts, the course will concentrate on single and three phase circuitry and the use of transformers.  Electrical power generation and the transmission of electrical energy will be presented along with various issues that have to be considered in this industry. 

Basic digital and analog circuitry is introduced including electronic components, amplification, and digital circuitry including logic gates.

Practice problems and weekly quizzes are used to help the student use and retain the concepts presented.
