This course introduces learners to the fundamental electrical and electronic principles applied in modern manufacturing environments. It provides a strong foundation in basic electricity, electronic components, control systems, and industrial applications commonly used in production, automation, and maintenance operations.
Learners will explore electrical quantities, such as voltage, current, resistance, and power, and understand their relationships through practical laws and principles. The course also covers electronic components and devices, including resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits, emphasizing their functions in manufacturing equipment.
The course further examines industrial electrical systems, including single-phase and three-phase power, electric motors, sensors, actuators, and basic control circuits. Special attention is given to manufacturing automation, safety practices, troubleshooting techniques, and preventive maintenance of electrical and electronic systems.
Through theoretical instruction and hands-on practical activities, learners develop the ability to interpret electrical diagrams, operate and maintain manufacturing equipment, and apply electrical and electronic concepts to improve efficiency, safety, and productivity in manufacturing processes.
By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with essential skills required to support manufacturing operations, collaborate with engineering teams, and adapt to modern industrial technologies
