Course Description:
EET 101: Industrial Electricity
(2-2-3)
This course includes a general review of power circuitry, terms, and electrical symbols as
well as construction techniques in the use of electrical cables conduit, and busways.
Reference to the National Electric Code will be used throughout the course to provide
proper safety and application techniques. The course also includes construction, control,
and maintenance of AC and DC motors, generators, and transformers. Classroom
projects will involve quoting and project costing using electrical supply catalogs,
engineering specifications, and examples of standard operating procedures used in the
industrial environment.

Purpose of Course:
Includes a general review of power circuitry, terms, and electrical symbols. Also
includes construction techniques in the use of electrical cables and wires, conduit, and
busways. Reference to the National Electric Code will be used throughout the course to
provide proper safety and application techniques. The course also includes construction,
control, and maintenance of AC and DC motors, and transformer theory. Examples of
some lab projects are the specifying of industrial control components for an operator
panel station, and the wiring, testing, and troubleshooting of a 2-wire control circuit
which controls the operation of a 3-phase AC motor.

Course Objectives:
Knowledge and skill objectives will be achieved via lecture presentation, class
discussion, homework, and evaluated by paper/pencil testing consisting of quizzes, midterm, and final exam. Practical skill objectives will be accomplished through the use of
lab assignments utilizing electrical/electronic components, and equipment. Upon
completion of this course, students should be able to:
Demonstrate fundamental procedures for industrial electrical applications, in preparation
as an Industrial Maintenance Technician.
Course Content:
1. Language of electricity.
2. Electrical measuring/test instruments.
3. Conductor types and sizes.
4. Wiring methods.
5. Wiring applications.
6. DC motors.
7. Alternating current.
8. Transformers.
9. Electrical distribution.
10. AC motors.
Statement to Connect Course with Technical Program Outcome Statement:
In compliance with MACC’s General Education outcomes, the student who successfully
completes this course will be able to:
I. Demonstrate effective written and oral communication;
Assessment of Student Learning:
The EET faculty continually strives to meet the needs of their students through program
improvements. These improvements are a result of program assessments and the
consultation and advisement of the EET Advisory Committee. In addition to the course
assessments outlined in this syllabus, the objectives achieved in this course will also be
an integral part of the EET program assessment. Students will be assessed on the mastery
of course concepts and essential skills attained in this course.

Instructor Policies:
Academic Dishonesty: MACC board policy is as follows: “Academic dishonesty by
students damages institutional credibility and unfairly jeopardizes honest students;
therefore, it will not be tolerated in any form.” Forms of academic dishonesty include but
are not limited to the following: violations of copyright law, plagiarism, fabrication,
cheating, collusion, and other academic misconduct. Incidents of dishonesty regarding
assignments, examinations, classroom/laboratory activities, and/or the submission of
misleading or false information to the College will be treated seriously. The procedure
for handling academic dishonesty is outlined in the Student Handbook (Policy Handbook
M.010). In cases of alleged academic dishonesty, the burden of proof is on the student,
not on the instructor.
Attendance:
Any student who misses two consecutive weeks of class during a regular sixteen-week
semester or the equivalent proportion of class time during a shorter session will be dropped
from the class by the instructor unless acceptable justification is supplied. Additionally, any
student who misses more than one-fourth of the entire number of in-seat class meetings in a
regular 16-week semester or the equivalent proportion of class time during a shorter session,
may be dropped from that class by the instructor if, in the opinion of the instructor, the
student does not have reasonable opportunity to succeed in the class. A student’s attendance
rate will be calculated based upon the first day of the semester (not the student’s date of
enrollment in the course).
Student attendance must be defined in a different manner for online, hybrid, and virtual
courses. Student attendance in these courses is defined as active participation in the course.
Online, hybrid, and virtual courses will, at a minimum, have weekly mechanisms for student
participation, such as any or all of the following methods:
a. Completion of quizzes or exams
b. Submission of assignments
c. Participation in threaded discussions
d. Communication with the instructor
A student who does not participate in an online, hybrid, or virtual course for two consecutive
weeks will be dropped by the instructor unless acceptable justification is supplied. As with
ground courses, a student’s attendance rate in online courses will also be calculated
based upon the first day of the semester. If a student does not demonstrate active
participation in the online course within the first two weeks (or the equivalent
proportion of class time during a short session), the student will be dropped as “never
attended.” Simply logging into an online class does not constitute active participation.
Students should be aware that their dropping a course and their last date of attendance
in the course may impact their financial aid.

Tardiness:
All students are expected to be on time for class. Excessive tardiness will be dealt with
on a one on one basis with the instructor.
Make-up and late work:
No makeup work or late work will be allowed except in “extreme” instances.
Extra-credit work
Extra credit may or may not be awarded.
Schedule of Student Assignments/Activities:
Instructors will identify a Student Assignment/Activities schedule. Instructors have the
prerogative to construct the schedule by class periods, weeks, or an overview of topics to
be covered.
