ELEC1502

This is the initial course in a series of courses designed to teach students about the tools & material that are used in the electrical industry. Through the semester students will be required to complete about 40 different projects. The initial projects are designed to introduce students to the basic cutting tools that they will be required to use in the Electrical industry. How to work safe will be a priority. Students will then be asked to diagram basic circuits, and then build or construct the circuits they designed. The primary wiring method for these projects is NM cable. Advancing, students will be introduced to other wiring methods such as EMT, IMC & RMC.Student Learning OutcomesA student successfully completing this course will:

• List safety requirements of tools & material
• Generate simple circuit calculations, layout & drawings.
• Compile data from the National Electrical Code, and apply it to wiring projects with no National Electrical Code violations
• Model professional Integrity
• Perform box fill calculations on all electrical boxes used on wiring projects.
• Create charts that evaluate different electrical boxes & devices used in industry.
• Provide evidence of (your) ability to focus on wiring projects and to stay on task.
