Electrical Engineering for Non-Electrical Engineers
- Description
- Curriculum
Course Overview
This 3-day interactive training program is designed for non-electrical professionals who work closely with electrical systems but lack formal electrical engineering education. The course builds a clear understanding of how electricity works, how electrical systems are designed, and how to operate and maintain them safely.
Participants will learn key concepts such as voltage, current, resistance, and power, along with the working principles of electrical distribution, equipment, and protection systems. The training emphasizes interpreting electrical drawings, identifying faults, and communicating effectively with electrical teams.
Through case studies, visual demonstrations, and simplified explanations, attendees will gain confidence in managing and supervising projects that involve electrical components.
By the end of the course, participants will have a practical grasp of electrical safety, preventive maintenance, and energy efficiency practices essential for modern industrial and commercial environments.
