During the 4 week electrical course I think I have come to have a sound knowledge of the electrical systems used in the automotive trade. I feel that I have been more interested in the practical part of the course as it helps me understand the theory side a lot better. My workbooks from the past 4 weeks have shown that I understand the concepts and theories behind Charging Alternator systems, Charging Battery systems, Starting systems (starter motors) and Electrical Components (relays, diodes, resistors, capacitors).
With knowledge taken from my practical classes and Dad (who is an Auto Electrician) I have be able to develop in-depth blogs that explore and discuss the backgrounds of the Electrical systems.
From my timetable you can see that a lot of my time was taken up by my job, however I didn't let myself fall behind too much with my self directed study which I made time for when I could. though it may not show on the timetable but during my breaks at work I usually spent time on reading over notes and workbooks. The task where we got to make our own logic probes was by far the highlight of the course, as it let us use the knowledge we had learnt to apply in a practical construction of a working circuit.
Admittedly my theory test results could of been better but thats just something that you can't help past the fact. I found that my problem solving and practical ability were much better than I originally expected them to be. Though my Dad is an Auto Electrician I've never really taken an interest until now.
Overall I have enjoyed myself during this course and have taken a lot of practical knowledge and understanding away from it.
