Based on the students’ requests, we have developed this special 3-day class that combines the best of both our individual AC course and DC course into one to study the basics of electricity. As the AC and DC principles are closely correlated to each other, for those who are interested in an informative introduction to these concepts in a concise and efficient educational fashion, this class is specifically designed for this purpose. No prior knowledge of electricity is required to attend this class. Not only will the fundamental theories be discussed, enlightening simulations and real-life examples will be illustrated to effectively explain how the concepts are being utilized in different applications in the electronics industry. With fun, practical hands-on exercises and interesting demonstrations, students will have an edifying learning experience, allowing them to obtain new, useful knowledge to enhance their job performance.
