Course Description

The Electrical Technology Program – Industrial Electrician provides participants with the academic coursework required by Hawaii Revised Statute HRS 448E for industrial journey worker electrical apprentices. Participants gain foundational skills in applied math and electrical safety as well as the required subjects in AC/DC theory, motors and motor control, NEC, and transformers. This program fulfills Requirements of HRS 448E, 200 hour electrical academic coursework.

Learner Outcomes

Upon succesful completion the participant will:
Apply mathematical reasoning to solve technical problems
Analyze the nature of DC and AC electricity and the quantities, units and measurements associated with it
Demonstrate the identification of the abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols of DC and AC electrical components in an electrical circuit, and the function of each one
Calculate the voltage, resistance, and current for series, parallel, and series/parallel circuits for DC and AC circuits
Apply the understanding of Resistance, Inductance, and Capacitance to DC and AC circuits, and its application to Power Loads
Correlate the requirements, standards and information in the NEC to the proper installation or modification of electrical systems, circuits, equipment and conductors
Relate the terminology defined in NEC 2011 Article 250 to applicable electrical installations of systems, circuits, equipment, and conductors
Evaluate the requirements for proper grounding and bonding of electrical systems, circuits, equipment and conductors based upon the requirements of NEC 2011
