Electrical Fundamentals for Mechanics

Catalog description

Prerequisite: None: This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the principles of electrical systems in vehicles, agricultural equipment, and diesel. Students will gain essential knowledge and hands-on skills in the following areas: digital multimeter proficiency, wiring schematics and symbols, basic troubleshooting techniques, wire repair, Ohm's law, circuit types, and theory and operation of starting, charging, and battery systems. The course culminates in a project where students will apply their knowledge by constructing a graded circuit and creating a corresponding wiring schematic. This hands-on experience will reinforce theoretical concepts and prepare students for real-world applications in the field of electrical systems. (0.5 Lecture, 2.5 Lab)
