3 Textbooks and Required Resources: Textbook selection varies by instructor and may change from year to year. At the Program Outline Effective Date the following textbooks were in use (most current edition). Complete Modules Year 3 Canadian Electrical Code; BC Amendments, BC Bulletins, Others as requested (available through BCSA) BCIT Workbook Recommended: Electric Motor Control, 8 TH Edition, by Delmar Delmar s Direct Fundamentals and Alternating Current Fundamentals, 7 TH Ed. Electrical Wiring: Industrial. Delmar Delmar s Standard Textbook of Electricity, 3 rd Ed. (Supplemental) Students will receive Provincial Apprenticeship Curriculum pertinent to the apprenticeship level in which they are enrolled. PROGRAM COMPETENCIES: Upon the successful completion of this program, students will be able to describe characteristics of three phase AC; calculate electrical quantities regarding three phase circuits; connect and test three phase transformer banks; describe the construction and operation of DC machines; describe the construction and operation of three phase AC machines; connect and test different starting techniques of three phase AC motors; describe the features and application of solid state devices; apply the Canadian Electrical Code; and understand and apply commercial and industrial wiring practices. This program should help students incorporate a safety first approach to every job and in every situation; make generalizations (transfer knowledge and training to new situations); think critically and act logically to evaluate situations; adapt to new situations and demands by applying and/or updating knowledge and skills; demonstrate initiative, motivation, energy and persistence to get the job done; work towards accomplishing collective goals and responsibilities; and recognize when it is necessary to seek more information from others.
