The career foundations of electrical engineering for power and buildings: circuit theory, power distribution, load calculations, protection and grounding, lighting and controls, renewable integration and the path into the profession.
Who this track is for
Electricians, electrical technicians, drafters, engineering students and career changers who want to understand what electrical engineers do and how to move toward the role.
What you’ll be able to do
- Explain what electrical engineers do in power, buildings and industry
- Apply circuit theory to real building and equipment loads
- Read single-line diagrams, panel schedules and electrical plans
- Describe how distribution, protection and grounding systems are designed
- Use VR and mixed-reality tools to preview, simulate, assemble and verify electrical installations
Course curriculum
Module 1: The electrical engineer role
Electrical engineers design power systems, controls and electronics.
Module 2: Circuit theory for power systems
Review voltage, current, resistance and power, series and parallel circuits, AC concepts such as impedance and power factor, and single-phase versus three-phase systems, with examples from real building loads.
Module 3: Distribution systems and load calculations
Follow power from the utility to the outlet.
Module 4: Protection, grounding and power quality
Protection keeps faults from becoming fires or injuries.
Module 5: Lighting, controls and building systems
Electrical engineers design lighting, controls and low-voltage systems.
Module 6: Renewables, storage and electrification
Electrification is reshaping electrical design.
Module 7: Field work, testing and your career path
Engineers support construction, testing and commissioning.
Module 8: VR and mixed reality: preview, simulate, assemble and verify
How techs use VR headsets, spatial computing headsets and mixed-reality smart glasses to preview, simulate, assemble and verify installations and repairs.
