This course is intended for individuals whose formal training is not in the field of electronics. Electrical controls and electronics are incorporated in almost every technical activity and all technical personnel have to deal, at least to some extent, with some aspects of electrical engineering. A basic understanding of electronics is essential to better perform your main function.
It is not an in-depth electronics course but rather a course aimed at the technicians who require an understanding of basic principles, without the assumption of any prior knowledge of the topic. The course is fast paced and as non-mathematical as possible.
