Aim

The aim of this course is to provide students with theoretical knowledge of direct and alternate currents and to provide knowledge and general skills in chart reading, troubleshooting and installation in electrical engineering. 
Students will also be given an understanding of measuring system accuracy and a basic understanding of logic control.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

- Explain concepts of direct current theory, as well as performing basic calculations
- Identify concepts of single-phase and three-phase AC, and perform basic calculations
- Explain electricity production and distribution from the producer to the user
- Apply basic measurement techniques, and the most common measuring instruments in electrical engineering
- Perform basic chart reading and troubleshooting
- Explain the basic concepts of logical control system
- Exemplify the most common measuring sensors on board a ship
