The practicum exposes the students to the trade environment and participants are expected to become members of the team in the industry site to which they are attached.

This course is designed to provide the student with the knowledge and skills necessary to install lighting systems and properly install electric heaters and control devices.

Prerequisites:

• BEEB1143D

Participants carry out various calculations related to single and three phase transformers, as well as circuit testing and analysis and transformer installation.

Prerequisites:

• BEEB1103E

Students learn the specific requirements for the installation of electrical equipment and devices for commercial and industrial purposes.

Prerequisites:

• BEEB1143D

This course provides instruction on the procedures for sizing, selecting and installing single-phase service entrances.

Prerequisites:

• SECU1194H

This course builds on the basic concepts of AC Theory as it applies to the AC circuits that contain resistance, inductance and capacitance.

 

Prerequisites:

• BEEB1103E

This course is designed to introduce students in the construction trades to a variety of generic hand and power tools and equipment and their uses within the context of safe work practices. Students become familiar with, and safely handle construction trade tools and equipment, and become more skilled with the tools and equipment specific to their trade as they use them in an applied fashion in their trade specific courses. They are required to demonstrate the selection and safe use of common hand and power tools and receive instruction on several types of fastening systems.

Prerequisites:

• SECU1194H

This course provides students with an introduction to PLC hardware and software.

This course is designed to provide the student with the knowledge and skills necessary to apply the Canadian Electrical Code and the National Building Code requirements.

The purpose of this course is to refresh skills in mathematics developed through secondary programs in areas deemed essential for the successful completion of the program. Although the topics covered in this course are common to any math program, every effort is made to illustrate their usage in the trades’ professions.

In this course, the students are presented with a balance of theoretical mathematics and applied mathematics. Instructional emphasis is focussed on the information, principles and formulas required to perform trade related mathematical calculations.

Prerequisites:

• MATH1208

This course provides an introduction to the meaning of community service.  Students learn how community service can enhance a student’s educational experience, personal growth, employability, and civic responsibility. Students participate in one day of volunteering to enhance their understanding of civic responsibility and to help the New Brunswick Community College realize its vision of transforming lives and communities. 

In this course, students focus on applying communication skills in reading, writing, speaking, document use, and critical thinking to make occupation-specific communication effective and efficient while developing computer-related skills necessary to be successful in college and on the job.
 
 

In this course, students focus on acquiring job search skills to gain a work-term placement as well as employment while also, developing interpersonal communication skills needed to grow their career.
 

This course provides the students with a working knowledge of basic sketching practices and print reading. They develop the ability to extract information from trade related drawings, specifications and graphs for residential, commercial and industrial practices.

This course is intended to provide the students with the knowledge required to function safely in their work environment. Included within this course are the specific WorkSafeNB competencies required for all NBCC graduates. Participants cover the safety and security standards required on the job so that they are aware of potential hazards and can prevent them.

The safety procedures introduced in the course focus on preparing the students to function efficiently and safely as they get more practice and applied knowledge specific to their trade.

This course provides students with an understanding of:

- their responsibilities when working in areas where fall hazards exist;

- the use of and inspection of the required equipment; and

- the critical controls necessary to reduce the risk of a fall.


Note:  This course may be delivered at the discretion of the college.

This course provides students with an understanding of the hazards related to working in a confined space environment. It looks at the proper safe work practice and procedures for confined spaces as well as rescue considerations.

Note:  The delivery timeline of this course is at the discretion of the campus.
