Students will draw, read, and interpret various types of diagrams and drawings used to represent electrical and electronic circuitry. Topics include board-drafting fundamentals; digital logic diagrams; relay and ladder logic diagrams; wiring diagrams; residential wiring; schematic symbols and diagrams; and printed circuit board artwork. Students will work manually on a drafting table and will engage in computer-aided drafting and computer simulation of various electrical and electronic circuits. Emphasis will be placed on developing the student`s ability to correctly understand and interpret electrical and electronic drawings and diagrams. All students will complete a project which involves drafting a proper schematic diagram, creating printed circuit board artwork, fabricating a printed circuit board, and assembling a working electronic circuit. Lab assignments require basic drafting tools.
