Curriculum












A Comprehensive, Self-Contained System that Familiarizes Trainees with Electricity & Electronics and Their Applications

TII's instructor-developed curriculum features more than 25 hours of instruction in electricity and electronic terminology, circuit design and development, basic electronic components, and the theory and mathematics relating to electricity and electronics. TII offers both a comprehensive textbook format and a 10-activity modular format. Both formats allow for self-paced, individualized instruction and training.

Each module includes background information on each topic and an experiment or experiments that require trainees to construct and operate a simple circuit, followed by questions that reinforce the concepts and measure competence. Hands-on applications allow the students or trainees to gain a better understanding of the changes in technology going on around them.

The entire system is enclosed in a portable and lockable impact-resistant polyethylene case. It consists of an experiment station, a component kit, a visual aids chart, and courseware. All necessary hardware and components are included.

SPECIFICATIONS

Experiment Station

The bottom panel is the experiment workstation. Electrical components are hard-mounted and connected using patch cords and banana jacks to create electrical circuits. The panel is reinforced with a steel box which also protects the components. The station is protected with an internal fuse and circuit breaker, and maximum voltage is limited to 12 VAC and 12 VDC.

Component Kit

The top panel is labeled and silhouetted for loose component identification and inventory. Loose components are supplied to allow students and trainees additional versatility in building circuits. A multimeter and magnets are included. For advanced applications, a breadboard is included. Both panels can easily be removed from the case for table-top use.

CURRICULUM

The Principles of Electricity & Electronics curriculum was designed and reviewed by a panel of experienced secondary and post-secondary educators. In addition, the curriculum received input from industry experts and has been reviewed and tested in industry. The courseware includes an instructor's guide and computer-based pre- and post-testing.
