Electricity

This high school/secondary course is designed to teach the basics of electrical/electronics theory in which concepts will be reinforced daily through hands-on practical applications. Students taking this course should have knowledge of the essential concepts of physical science and have algebraic and geometric reasoning skills. Core electronics provides students with a solid foundation for college and/or other post-secondary opportunities. Individuals may progress to the specialized courses computer service technology, communication electronics, or industrial electronics upon completion of this prerequisite course. Course standards are aligned with the Associate C.E.T. competencies from the Electronics Technicians Association (ETA), as recommended by the National Coalition for Electronics Education (NCEE) and the National Electronics Education Consortium (NEEC). Mastery of the core electronics standards can be the first step toward preparation for ETA’s Associate C.E.T. Exam for national industry certification.
