Corequisite: None.Advisory: Eligibility for English 125 and 126 or English 153 or ESL 67 and 68 and Math 101 or AT 130 recommended. Description: Theory and application of electrical principles. Single and three phase power, transformers, wiring diagrams, control logic, test instruments, single phase motors and controls. Brazing, evacuation, charging, recovery, wiring and testing of refrigerant systems. Entry Level Skills: Upon entering the course, the student should be able to:1. Perform the four arithmetic operations on whole numbers, arithmetic fractions, and decimal fractions.2. Make the conversions from arithmetic fractions to decimal fractions, from decimal fractions to percents, and then reversing the process.3. Understand perimeter, area, and volume of simple geometric figures.4. Convert between the metric and English measurement systems and convert within each system.5. Employ context clues and affix analysis to determine meanings of unfamiliar words; use dictionaries; determine main ideas and literal meaning; identify important details and paraphrase reading selections.6. Use the reading process: pre-read, read, reread.7. Read actively by previewing, questioning, paraphrasing, and tracing clues that lead to implied meaning embedded in reading selections.Requested Credit Classification (Applicant)[X] Degree applicable [ ] Noncredit[ ] Nondegree Applicable [x] Transfer Level[ ] Course contains an international component.[ ] Course contains American pluralism and identity content.Expected Outcomes/Objectives: Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:1. Illustrate electrical components using the correct electrical symbol.2. Read and interpret pictorial and ladder wiring diagrams.3. Convert pictorial diagrams to ladder form to clarify control strategy.4. Measure compressor motor winding resistance to determine common, start and run terminals.5. Test motor windings for open, short and ground failure.6. Measure and calculate transformer VA load.7. Test capacitors using a volt and ohm meter.8. Wire a single phase compressor motor PSC and CSCR.9. Identify delta (230V) and wye (208V) power using a volt meter.10. Flare, swage, silver braze and solder to industry standards.Note: Repeats are allowed due to changes in existing as well as new technologies.Texts, Other Readings, and Materials:Text(s)Whitman, William C. and Johnson, William M., Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology, 4th Edition, Delmar Publishers, Albany, New York, 2000.Other current readings; such as electrical, mechanical, plumbing codes.[X] Primarily College Level Professional Judgment [ ] Primarily not College Level (How Determined) Out-of-Class Assignments: 8 hours per week (or equivalent) [x] Permissible exception to the common interpretation as stated is as follows (AR 7200): (1) [(2)] (3) (4) (circle one)List types:1. Reading assignments.2. Written homework assignments involving short essay and vocabulary.3. Prepare ladder wiring diagrams from written instructions or a pictorial.4. Submit technical reports using information obtained on-line from equipment manufacturers, professional organizations and regulatory agencies.[X] Class participation and assignments require and develop critical thinking (see Expected Outcomes/Objectives). Describe how:Students will diagram control and line voltage wiring, analyze control strategy and employ systematic troubleshooting procedures. They will measure electrical values, interpret readings and recommended corrective procedures.[X] Primarily College Level[X] 2 hours of independent work done out of class per each hour of lecture or class work, or 3 hours lab, practicum, or the equivalent, per unit.[ ] Not Primarily College Level[ ] Ratio of amount of work per unit of credit required by curriculum committee for a nondegree credit course is met.Assessment: Grades will be based upon:[X] ESSAY* Essay questions are used for homework, assignments, quizzes and examinations.[X] COMPUTATION* Calculate the value of unknown variables in resistive circuits, calculate volt, amp and resistance values in series and parallel circuits, calculate capacitance (multiple capacitors in series/parallel). [X] NONCOMPUTATIONAL PROBLEM-SOLVING*Examples: Diagram control and line voltage wiring, analyze control strategy and demonstrate systematic troubleshooting procedures.[X] SKILL DEMONSTRATIONKind: Flare, swage, silver braze and solder, assemble refrigerant systems, leak test, charge, recover refrigerant, and performance test.Prepare pictorial and ladder diagrams, measure electrical values, interpret readings and recommend corrective procedures.[X] MULTIPLE CHOICE Exam questions in this format often require computation to select the correct answer.[ ] OTHER: Describe. (Examples: tests, quizzes, homework)*For degree credit: At least one of the first three boxes above must be checked, and if “essay” is not checked, it must be explained why essays are an inappropriate basis for at least 25% of the grade in the course.Expanded Description of Content and Methods:Content:I. Safety:General and trade specific safety information is presented during the first week of instruction. Safety instruction is provided throughout the course as new equipment and tools are introduced. A safety test is administered before lab work is permitted.II. Basic ElectricityA. Structure of matterB. Movement of electronsC. ConductorsD. InsulatorsE. Direct/Alternating
