Course Title: Technical Math for Electrical Series

Prerequisites: Basic Math

Course Length and Maximum Class Size:

18 Classroom hours presented in (6) 3-hour sessions. 

(NOTE:  Participants will have the option of taking a challenge test prior to the beginning of the class to demonstrate mastery of all or part of the skills which will be addressed in the class.  This may eliminate the need to participate in all 18 hrs. of instruction.  Call ASU Tech to schedule tests.  Also, employees who have successfully completed Technical Math for Blueprint Reading/Mechanical will need only to participate in module 3 to satisfy the requirements of the course.) Maximum class size is 20.
