Hi ! Thanks for looking. This is a High School level beginning hands on lab series originally designed for a Career Tech class in Electrical Engineering. The attached file is a design meant to be printed on 8.5" by 11" self sticky stock and then given to the student along with a piece of inexpensive shelving cut to about the same length. ( White Shelving at Lowes or Home Depot Etc. ) The goal is to teach students some basics about making something from simple parts. The students would then

This lab is what happens to you after you Teach Teenagers for 15+ years, THE FINE PRINT ! You have to have a sense of humor and think you are in control ! This series of labs are designed to introduce students to the Skill of Residential Wiring. Depending on your available resources, I had my students build these on a piece of 1/2 inch plywood about 2 ft by 4 ft , a common size available at your local builder supplier. ( I do not recomend partical board or allowing students to use power screw

This Lab is blank and I reserved it for future use but is also a good blank ladder diagram that you can use to custom your own ideas. This lab series is intended to introduce students to how relays work and the concept of ladder diagrams in the electrical industrial area. This series is followed by my Motor Control Series and the two series go hand in hand. This is the area that most of my students actually get jobs that can become a career. I had my students build these on a piece of 1/2 inch

This is a picture of one of the more advanced labs so you can see an example of what you will need to implement these labs and how complex they can get. This was done by one of my High School Seniors who now is employed in this industry .

This is a series of Industrial Motor Control labs that usually followed my Relay Control series. This group introduces 3 phase theory and operation using hands on labs that try to mimic real life applications. Safety becomes more important as the voltage is now increased to a more dangerous level and I recommend that students have a least an OSHA 10hr course in hand. This Free resource was my guidline to students about what they should expect from me. You may laugh when you read it but it wo

This is a free resource and is an example of an actual Industrial Motor Application. It is included a resource and is not intended for a student to actually build.
