School______Instructor______

Course Description: This course introduces the student to the knowledge base and technical skills for entry level skills in industrial Electrical Maintenance. Areas of study include basic electrical theory and calculations, electrical tools, instuments and safety, electical symbols and diagrams, industrial power and control circuits, electrical equipment and devices, electrical motors, and an introduction to programmable logic controllers, as applied in industrial locations. Emphasis will be placed on career exploration, job seeking skills, and personal and professional ethics.Safety instruction is integrated into all activities. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and participate in laboratory activities to develop an understanding of course concepts and teachers should provide each student with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to electrical maintenance occupations. Students are encouraged to become active members of SkillsUSA for additional co-curricular opportunities that enhance student achievement, develop student leadership, and support experiential learning.Course components also address the 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills, technology tools, and content standards and objectives.
