AMT 194A

Course Description

Explores engine electrical components, including the inspection, service and repair of alternating and direct current electrical systems. Examines the application of electrical principles used in sensing, indicating and control of powerplant systems. Prerequisite/concurrent: AMT 194A. Audit available.

Course Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Inspect, check, and troubleshoot constant speed and integrated speed drive generators.
  2. Repair engine electrical system components.
  3. Install and service engine electrical wiring, controls, switches, indicators and protective devices.

Suggested Outcome Assessment Strategies

Evaluations by exams, quizzes and lab work.

Course Activities and Design

The determination of teaching strategies used in the delivery of outcomes is generally left to the discretion of the instructor. Here are some strategies that you might consider when designing your course: lecture, small group/forum discussion, flipped classroom, dyads, oral presentation, role play, simulation scenarios, group projects, service learning projects, hands-on lab, peer review/workshops, cooperative learning (jigsaw, fishbowl), inquiry based instruction, differentiated instruction (learning centers), graphic organizers, etc.

Course Content

Outcome #1: Inspect, check, and troubleshoot constant speed and integrated speed drive generators.
  • Apply principles and architecture of AC and DC generators
  • Operate vibrator style, solid state and carbon-pile voltage regulators
