Students should develop a working knowledge of the code that will permit them to apply it to everyday applications. Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to use the code to design service entrances, feeders and branch circuits and discern between wiring methods used in difference occupancies. 4 hrs. lecture /wk.

ELTE 123

Electromechanical Systems (4 CR)

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to identify electrical components and their relationships to the various repair and troubleshooting techniques. The materials in this course will prove useful to service technicians whose background in electricity is limited. The course includes material from basic electrical theory to troubleshooting complex electrical circuits. This course will provide practice in the application of electrical theory as well as in the interconnection of components of heating and cooling systems. The student will be required to provide ANSI Z87 safety glasses and may be expected to provide other basic hand tools and/or equipment. This is a beginning course in electrical theory that is required for HVAC, electrical and power plant technology but is appropriate for all interested students. Common components found in the HVAC industry are used to develop these skills. 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.

ELTE 125

Residential Wiring Methods (4 CR)

Prerequisite or corequisite: HVAC 123 or ELTE 123

This is an introductory course on residential wiring methods that includes practical application and hands-on experience in implementing the code requirements. Upon successful completion of this course, the student should acquire the necessary skills to wire a residence to meet the minimum requirements as set forth in the current National Electrical Code for residential occupancies. The student will be required to provide ANSI Z87 safety glasses and may be expected to provide other basic hand tools and/or equipment. 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.
Associated Costs: In addition to the course tuition, fees, and textbooks, this course has additional expense considerations that are estimated to be $125 to $300.

ELTE 200

Commercial Wiring Methods (4 CR)

Prerequisite or corequisite: HVAC 123 or ELTE 123

This course covers commercial wiring methods. Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to read commercial blueprints and apply the current National Electrical Code to commercial wiring systems. The student will gain working knowledge and hands-on experience with commercial wiring techniques. The student will be required to provide ANSI Z87 safety glasses and may be expected to provide other basic hand tools and/or equipment. 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.
Associated Costs: In addition to the course tuition, fees, and textbooks, this course has additional expense considerations that are estimated to be $125 to $300.

ELTE 202

Electrical Estimating (3 CR)

Prerequisites: ELTE 122 and ELTE 125 or ELTE 200 or department approval

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to manually and electronically (using industry standard computer software) develop an electrical estimate for a residential and commercial design. Emphasis will be placed on compiling a take-off list of materials from blueprints, completing a bill of material and completing the final bid process. This includes a bid accuracy analysis to determine the job's selling price. The student will be able to determine material cost, labor cost, the proper application of direct cost, overhead and profit. Also, to conclude the estimate, the student will be able to write bid proposals and change orders. 2 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs lab/wk.

ELTE 205

Industrial Electrical Wiring (4 CR)

Prerequisite: ELTE 122 or ELTE 125 or ELTE 200

This advanced course covers industrial wiring methods. Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to read industrial blueprints and apply the current National Electrical Code to industrial wiring systems. The student will gain working knowledge and hands-on experience with industrial wiring techniques. The student will be required to provide ANSI Z87 safety glasses and may be expected to provide other basic hand tools and/or equipment. 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.
Associated Costs: In addition to the course tuition, fees, and textbooks, this course has additional expense considerations that are estimated to be $125 to $300.

ELTE 210

Code Certification Review (3 CR)

Prerequisite: ELTE 122
