ELE 167 - Industrial Electrical Systems
Last Date of Approval: spring 2021
3 Credits
Total Lecture Hours: 30
Total Lab Hours: 30
Course Description:
The Industrial Electrical Systems course will provide students with the essentials of Industrial Electrical System installation and troubleshooting. Students will study electrical safety, installation and design of electrical systems, industrial electrical diagrams, and power distribution systems. The topics in this class will help prepare the student for what they will see on their internship in their following semester(s). Modern lighting concepts will also be discussed with respect to federal requirements for illumination. With the broad topics learned, the knowledge base for the student will be a great advantage in understanding how to work in their career.
