UTA’s HVAC Electrical course takes the “mystery” out of electricity enabling students to gain, not only the theory behind electrical controls but, the confidence to succeed!
Each student works individually so, regardless of experience, they progress at their own rate. A low student to instructor ratio allows each technician to receive adequate “one-on-one” training, necessary for the best lab experience. Students will spend approximately one-third of their time in the classroom learning theory, and two-thirds of their time in lab performing hands-on projects. When technicians return to work they are able to put what they have learned into action, and increase productivity and efficiency! When combined with the Refrigeration Technology Course beginning students are expected to have the ability to run residential maintenance.
Electrical Topics Covered:
- Safe electrical work practices.
- Electrical theory, laws, inductive & resistive loads.
