ELEC1506

This is course is designed as a continuation of Basic Wiring & Materials I. Students will find themselves working in teams to complete between 30-40 different labs. Some of the projects are designed as introductory, others build on initial concepts and become more complex. Skills that are evaluated tend to be hands on or the ability to work with the tools & electrical material. Students will review NM cable wiring techniques, as well as other wiring methods. Basic EMT conduit bending & calculations are introduced in this class, as well as PVC, RMC & IMC conduit types. Successful students learn the ability to focus on a project & demonstrate the ability to stay on task.Student Learning OutcomesA student successfully completing this course will:
