Develop job oriented electricity theory training using equipment and tasks specific
to each ‘A’ school. The basic electricity theory training would be integrated into the ‘A’
school equipment operation and maintenance lessons. There would be no separate frontend
theory training. The trainee would learn basic electrical operation and maintenance
concepts on the equipment used on-the-job in the fleet or on reasonable simulations. The
training would be sequenced so the easier/more familiar devices would be taught first,
with more difficult concepts and techniques being taught with the more complicated
devices. For example, for initial basic theory training, a radio receiver at ET ‘A’ school,
or the small boat lighting system at EM ‘A’ school could be used to teach students basic
circuit operation, preventive, and corrective maintenance methods. Those simple devices
could be followed with more complicated devices that have more advanced concepts. ks
in the generic option the emphasis would be placed on trainees learning hands-on
practical skills. Laboratory time would increase to allow sufficient time for the trainees
to become skilled in the application of the theories and concepts learned.
