IMG 1022 - Fundamentals in Electronics


Clock Hours: 116

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Prerequisites: IMG 1021 - Intro to Mechanical and Hand Tools Applications 

Course Description:
The course covers the identification of symbols in electrical drawings and the calculation of series and parallel circuits using Ohm’s Law/Kirchhoff’s Law. It provides an introduction to using tools such as multimeters, amp gauges, and meggers for motors. Students will learn to wire circuits, take measurements, troubleshoot issues, and perform repairs. The curriculum also includes training on the operating principles of transformers and electrical machinery, as well as an introduction to automated machines in various industries. Additionally, students will explore the applications of different energy forms, such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and electrical power systems.
