X311 111 Applied Theory I: DC Concepts - 90 Hours 7.5 quarter credits

Introduction to DC theory as a prerequisite for subsequent electrical theory classes as well as essential information on electrical safety. This course introduces the effects of DC voltage, current and power in resistive circuits including series, parallel, and series-parallel networks with emphasis on Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws, and voltage divider and current divider rules. Circuit analysis includes source conversion, mesh analysis, superposition, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems. Practical lab exercises incorporate standard test equipment, classroom theory, troubleshooting skills, and electrical safety.

X31 112 Applied Theory II: AC Concepts - 90 Hours 7.5 quarter credits

This course completes DC concepts by presenting transient effects of capacitors and inductors and discussing magnetic circuits. AC theory concepts and applications are introduced using general sinusoidal format for AC voltage, current, power and frequency as it applies to resistive and reactive series, parallel and series-parallel networks. Circuit analysis includes mesh analysis, superposition, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems. Practical lab exercises incorporate standard test equipment, classroom theory, troubleshooting skills, and electrical safety.
