CertTEC® Basic Electricity and Electronics – Analog

Length: 

Proficiency examination; varies.

Location: 
Proctor sites authorized by SpaceTEC®.
Dates: 

December 2014- Present.

Instructional delivery format: 
Proficiency exam
Learner Outcomes: 

Upon successful passing of this examination, students are able to demonstrate skills and knowledge in using a multimeter and an oscilloscope to identify analog circuit types, measure analog circuit values, identify faults in common analog circuits, troubleshoot a simple discrete power supply by identifying signals, following signal flow through the circuit, and identifying faulty components and outputs; use their knowledge of power supplies and analog circuit performance to successfully troubleshoot fault scenarios. Students also will be able to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in troubleshooting MOSFET, IGBT, and SCR switching circuits, safely implement circuit operating procedures to verify proper operation, and successfully troubleshoot various solid state switching circuits.
