MCCCD Official Course Competencies
1. Design wiring diagrams to include:\ndual voltage, across-the-line start, part-wind start, start-\nstop stations and wire three-phase motors, demonstrating\nappropriate safety procedures. (I) 2. Using specific systems and components mounted in the control\npanel, draw a wiring diagram, wire the system, operate the\nsystem, and check for proper operation using test meters to\nprove electrical circuits, demonstrating appropriate safety\nprocedures. (II) 3. Using factory wired systems (without diagrams), interpret\nwiring and diagram the systems.(III) 4. Determine sources of specific electrical problems\ndemonstrating appropriate safety procedures, including:\nopen circuits, short circuits/incomplete wiring, and\ndetermine necessary corrections for the problems. (IV) 5. Wire multi-typed transformers for selected voltages. (V)\n
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements.
