ELTR - Electrical and Electronics

Alfred State courses are grouped into the following sections:

  • This course is designed to teach the student to be proficient with word processing, presentation and Web publishing software. Study will be focused on how to create, manipulate, save and transfer documents. Study will also include migration of document types between software packages.
  • This lab runs concurrently with the Basic Electricity course. Identification and application of basic fabrication tools is stressed. Required fabrication projects give the student practical experience in sheet metal work.
  • This is an introductory electrical course containing fundamental electrical principles and practices. Ohm's law, electrical circuit construction and operation, familiarization with electrical tools and fabrication, and electrical components and their applications will be studied as they pertain to industrial use.
  • This laboratory runs concurrently with the Basic Electricity course. Application of basic electrical principles and practices is stressed by providing the student with numerous and varied electrical lab projects directly related to his/her classroom study. Reading schematic diagrams, circuit construction, testing, troubleshooting, and repair are required.
  • This course is designed to teach the student to be proficient with word processing, presentations, and Web publishing software. Students will be creating, editing and merging documents with word processing and Web publishing software. Students will be designing Web pages while integrating documents between word processing and presentation software packages. All students will take the Microsoft Word MOUS certification upon completion of this course.
  • This course is designed to prepare the student to enter the employment field with spreadsheet and data base knowledge. Students will learn to use spreadsheet and data base software to create, modify, save and transfer documents. Students will be introduced to time management and e-mail software.
  • This course is designed to prepare the student to enter the employment field with spreadsheet and database knowledge. Students will learn to use spreadsheet and database software to create, modify, save and transfer documents. Students will be introduced to time management and e-mail software.

  • This course is designed to prepare the student to enter the employment field with an introductory understanding of electrical theory. Students will learn concepts of how to construct, measure, and troubleshoot DC and AC circuitry. Other items include resistor color code, related mathematics, and test equipment usage.
  • This lecture course introduces a student to the theories, principles, and laws of static and dynamic electricity. Direct and alternating current circuits are studied utilizing the related trade mathematics covering topics such as Ohm's law, resistance, power, inductance, and capacitance. Major emphasis is placed on applying trade related mathematics and analytical reasoning to troubleshooting series, parallel and compound circuits. National Electrical Code requirements and proper techniques for soldering/terminating conductors are covered. Students will learn to interpret and draw electrical schematics and wiring diagrams relating to low voltage signal circuits. The National Electrical Code and its application to residential branch circuit requirements and non-metallic wiring methods as well as correct electrical and component terminology is introduced.
  • This course is designed to prepare the student to enter the employment field with introductory electrical skills. Students will construct, measure and troubleshoot DC and AC circuitry. Other items include resistor color code usage, applied mathematics and use of test equipment.
