Maritime Electrical – RI

This course will prepare participants with the electrical skills and knowledge for industry employment requiring the application of basic electrical knowledge in maritime manufacturing environments. The course covers basic electrical theory, block diagrams-schematics, wiring diagrams, electrical circuits (series and parallel), power supplies, test equipment and measurements, introductory shop math and formulas – including Ohms and Kirchhoff’s Laws, Blueprint reading, and an introduction to basic wire and cable installations and the required safety precautions.

This is a free course that mixes hands-on education with classroom instruction. Community College of Rhode Island instructors, most of whom have worked at Electric Boat, lead the courses in essential skills. The small class size and frequent interaction with the instructor and teacher’s assistant enable students to have a more personalized experience.

This is an ideal workforce development course for anyone interested in pursuing a career in shipbuilding at General Dynamics Electric Boat, which is one of the nation’s premier defense contractors building and delivering submarines critically important to the United States Navy. Trainings take place at Westerly Education Center, Westerly, RI.
