060-STB-016-020	AC Theory - 5-Part Series

SUMMARY This 5-part, interactive, CD-ROM series teaches students AC Theory utilizing highly detailed 3-dimensional graphics and animations. Interactive labs challenge the student to fully understand the generation of alternating current. A strong foundation is built in theory, inductive troubleshooting and analysis of electronic components. While developed for industrial maintenance programs, it can be used as a critical component of any electrical curriculum. Each lesson is designed to provide the knowledge and background required to develop a basic understanding of AC Theory. Each lesson has instructional objectives which identify the anticipated learner outcomes associated with the information presented.
