DC 1: Introduction: Course Outcome Summary

This 7-page course outcome summary, published by Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC), provides information on the learning outcomes from the DC (direct current) 1: Introduction course offered by NWTC. In DC 1: Introduction, students learn about "the concepts of DC electricity and simple series circuits." Also discussed in the course is "voltage, current, resistance, Ohm's Law, power, and Kirchoff's Voltage Law." The summary includes six course competencies, each with assignment strategies, criteria for success, and learning objectives. Also included are 11 program-wide outcomes, six employability skills, and a list of course learning plans and performance assessment tasks. The featured course competencies are as follows:

1. Employ Scientific and Engineering notation in the description of electrical quantities
2. Follow learning facility rules and procedures
3. Analyze the theory and properties of an electric circuit
4. Analyze the physical basis for the electrical quantity of resistance
5. Evaluate simple electrical components in various circuit configurations
6. Analyze circuit parameters such as voltage, current, resistance and power
